(Song title from The Beatles’ catalogue, by Lennon/McCartney)

Stop screaming at me!
It’s not my fault,
Let it be.

Stop stabbing my back!
I don’t need it,
Let it be.

Stop scaring my eyes!
Don’t cry no more,
Let it be!

(Song title from The Beatles’ catalogue, by Lennon/McCartney)

In isolation,
In the corner on my own,
Where night is over and day is gone,
I feel fine,
I feel fine because I know…
…that if I can dream…
….nothing will seem…
….as bad as the visions that I stare upon,
Where night is over and day is gone.

(Song title from The Beatles’ catalogue, by Lennon/McCartney)

I shut myself inside the darkness,
In the blackness of my mind,
I scream aloud and call her name,
I shout for help yet feel the same.

I close my eyes to the mirrored-self,
An image of someone hurt,
I grip to the edge of my life,
I need help to escape this strife.

(Song title from The Beatles’ catalogue, by Lennon/McCartney)

Nothing nicer,
Sinful sweetness,
Darling desire,
Every time we come together.

Nothing neater,
Sinful stardust,
Darling dancing,
Every time we come together.

(Song title from The Beatles’ catalogue, by Lennon/McCartney)

I dream of a day,
A far off place where we’re together,
Your hand would be held in mine,
And your bird can sing its song,
Aloud.

(Song title from The Beatles catalogue, by Lennon/McCartney)

All you need is love, they say,
But famine, war and hunger get in the way,
Same old hatred,
Same old fear,
Plays out within my brain day by day.

I can’t understand the fray,
The bitter denial in all that we say,
Such angry words,
Angry stares,
And still they say, “all you need is love”.

(Song title from “Wicked” by Stephen Schwartz)

I looked at him from across the room,
His eyes smiled,
A spark of tenderness hiding the gloom,
Number dialled.

Never felt such a feeling as this,
Scared by my mind,
What is this feeling of utter bliss?
True hearts are blind.
