permanently black and blue

the roughest week of April has just gone by.

with unreasonable parents who once more try

to reason with grades - threats fly

with new things to learn and more datelines to keep

with heart aches that make each day look bleak -

haunts from the past, one hopes never to seek

"so little cause for carolings", yes?

cos though I try and I try my best

to let things simmer, those weights on my chest

never seem to want to go, no bidding good-byes

the roughest week of April has just gone by

or has yet to say hi?

I tried to do handstands but everytime I fell for you
I'm permanently black and blue, permanently blue for you
