DESCRIPTION:
Judith Avers
Week 22
Prompt: Helpless

It was a helpless, hapless love
In the arms of an honest man
She was straight off of the bus
Bag of broken hearts in hand
Bag of broken hearts in hand

She was a maven with the boys
Who were good, strong and kind
He was putty in her hands
She had leaving on her mind
She had leaving on her mind

A deep breath -- can be hard to take
Hard to hold
Hard to bait
Blind love -- makes no sense
Makes you lose your mind, your heart
And all the rest

They had a reckless, careless Spring
While she was busy stocking up
He would've given anything
To keep her drinking from his cup
To keep her drinking from his cup

A good love -- can be hard to take
Hard to hold
The reigns
It's easy - to just let it go
Take the best
Then hit the road

It was nearing July 4
Front porch sitting head in hands
She left a note tacked to the door
And a broken hearted man
And a broken hearted man

Goodbye -- can be hard to take
Had to hold
Hard to make
Heartache -- is a powerful state
Gets you thinking twice
Can be your saving grace.
