(eleanor mcevoy) I look for comfort in the arms of every friend that i have known, I long for poetry to sweep away the clouds above my soul. I let myself believe that these will be my saviours till the end. And so, on them i depend. On them i depend. Chorus Where is the […]
Famine - Eleanor Mcevoy
(eleanor mcevoy) An act of god has struck us An act of faith sustains us But it seems hopeless And i feel helpless to you An act of man has hit us Worse than any god And i can’t shield you And i can’t shelter you,but If you’re in need of comfort I will do […]
(eleanor mcevoy) Smells of toast and coffee served to put in mind his name today Never did take much to get me thinking about him anyway In time i may progress to welcoming the coffee’s scent At present i have no such strength. Is there no poetry, no melody to comfort me, To blur these […]
(eleanor mcevoy) Fire’s burn, turning into dust What was precious, what was pretty paradise Fire’s burn, burning to the ground. What was healthy what was holy, what was life. If you think it’s hot now, If you hate that heat You think it’s bad now, wait and see, You think it’s close now as you […]

(eleanor mcevoy) The black and white Is clear to see It’s shades of grey Are puzzling me Shades of feeling like My body’s buried deep, Half asleep, half asleep. It’s a very deep hole, With very steep sides, I can’t climb out I’m trapped inside It’s a very deep hole, With very steep sides I […]
(eleanor mcevoy) In case of loving unreturned Unrequited fingers burn Don’t you blame yourself at all There is no blame,there is no crime This madness happens all the time No one there to break your fall I understand how hard it’s been I’ve been there too and i have seen What running after love can […]
