This is the first time I’ve entered Steemit Open Mic. It’s about time, eh? ;)

Hope you enjoy my new song.

Gemini’s Lament

How many times will I fall in love?
How many times will it fade?
How many times till I realize
That the magic never stays?

How is it I’m still chasing love?
How many times will I run away?
How long until I give it up?
The loneliness just stays.

Reel it in, now, let’s get real,
I never stood a chance.
This fool heart flies and falls
I can’t say no to a dance.

But how many times can I fall in love,
When all it does is slay me?
All these years and I still seek love
Even though the spark betrays.

Reel it in, now, let’s get real,
It’s probably all in my head.
This fool heart needs to settle down,
Or maybe hide instead.

But no, I’ll dive back into love,
And come crawling out again.
Like some dream-struck girl with her arms around the world
Know I’m in for a bitter end.

How many times will I fall in love?
How many times will I run away?
How long until I give it up?
The loneliness just stays.

Reel it in, now, let’s get real,
I never stood a chance.
This fool heart flies and falls
I can’t say no to a dance.

How many times till I fall in love
And take it day by day?
How long until I figure out
How to make the magic stay?
