This poem was triggered by another person but in the end it is about my mother. The first and worst cut of my life.
CHANGES by Yes
I’m moving through some changes
I’ll never be the same
I’m moving through some changes
I’ll never be the same
Something you did touched me
There’s no one else to blame
The love we had has fallen
The love we used to share
We’ve given up believing
As if you didn’t care
The love we had has fallen
The love we used to share
We’ve given up pretending
As if you didn’t care
Change changing places
Root yourself to the ground
Capitalize on this good fortune
One word can bring you round
Changes
try to find out how
There’s a way to save it now
I look into the mirror
I see no happiness
All the warmth I gave you
Has turned to emptiness
The love we had has fallen
The love we used to share
You’ve left me here believing
In love that wasn’t there
[guitar solo]
One word from you
One word from me
A clear design on your liberty
Who could believe when love has gone
How we move on like everyone
One road to loneliness
It’s always the same
One road to happiness
It’s calling your name
One road to loneliness
It’s always the same
One road to happiness
It’s calling your name
Change changing places – Changes
Root yourself to the ground
Word to the wise – Well you get what’s coming
One word One word can bring you round
Changes
“The First Cut Is The Deepest”
I would have given you all of my heart
but there’s someone who’s torn it apart
and she’s taking almost all that I’ve got
but if you want, I’ll try to love again
baby I’ll try to love again but I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
’cause when it comes to being lucky she’s cursed
when it comes to lovin’ me she’s worst
but when it comes to being loved she’s first
that’s how I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
I still want you by my side
just to help me dry the tears that I’ve cried
cause I’m sure gonna give you a try
and if you want, I’ll try to love again
but baby, I’ll try to love again, but I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
‘Cause when it comes to being lucky she’s cursed
when it comes to lovin’ me she’s worst
but when it comes to being loved she’s first
that’s how I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
