You have a different orbit, I was once told
As the world travels around the sun
You are a sun travelling around a world
I thought I’d gathered wisdom
On the distorted path of life
That I knew how people operate
That no one could twist the knife.

I’ve learnt that my naivety
Has never left my side
My belief in what they say to me
Lets others hurt my pride
Perhaps I need admiration
Or just a kindly spoken word
These things that mean the world to me
Leave my defences open wide

To others love comes easily
It comes that way and goes
To me it is a hidden treasure
The Rainbow’s pot of gold
I think that when you’ve found it
It will always be that way
But the Rainbow’s colours fade as fast
As night turns into day

I think sometimes I’m going to change
To survive a world so full of fault
With words the words ‘you’re amazing’, ‘special’
I’ll take a substantial pinch of salt
My fragile, trusting, broken heart
Encase it in a coat of tin
but scars don’t come from out the heart
They come from deep within.

I hope I never lose the will
To love the way I do
I trust words people say to me
They should trust mine too
Where love appears it’s possible
That I can care too much
But only if you don’t believe
In loyalty, cherishing and such

I feel I must apologise
To those who live on earth
I’m on a different track you see
The truth for what it’s worth
I never meant to hurt you
Didn’t want to drive you away
Didn’t want to rock your own belief
In the chance of love one day

There are mysteries I have yet to solve
That will taunt me yet I know
Like where and how our love goes
When the seeds are there to grow
My need for explanation
For answers must frustrate
Do others not question this?
Before they close the gate

I want to be a friend to those
Who touched my giving heart
To the few who share that special place
Let nothing pull us apart
I will not be a drain to them
A test on their resolve
I’ll be there if they might need me
Let our friendship not disolve

I will be alright you know
I’ve survived these things before
I’ll fall, I’ll flounder, cry a bit
Then drag myself up off the floor
I’ll not lose sight of who I am
Lessons I won’t receive
I’ll find another love one day
I want to believe.
