Gone with the Wind

by Bénne

Never push the one you love and make the wind carry her away

You can only be a fool to be handing a rare diamond to an animal

The sad empty feeling you’ll cause upon your soul on this day

Will creep into your heart when the wind blows out the candle

With your bare hands and before your eyes you abused her

What there had stopped you? You threw your love to the wind

From your mouth you were rude and with it you accused her

What kind words had stopped you? You threw your heart to the wind

And when her spirit cried and bled you showed her no care

Your compassion was now blind. You forgot love was there

You evicted her from your heart paved way for hatred to reside in

You never spoke peace when things had inadvertently gone wrong

But pride in you showed no hesitant to have her forever gone

With her little strength ever waning she still proved she loved you

But you gave her away to the wind and created emptiness in your heart

Now you stand on mountains searching for the wind that took her

Vain is your search for the wind did not drop her on mountain top

Beneath you in the valley among fields of chrysanthemums, the wind laid her
