Split Sides

Nigel the Gannet

Oh, how I lived and how I loved!

To shower love and receive none,

That was how I was.

I love her, I love her so much

And I love her mate too

Even though they stood there

Without turning for me.

Actually, not turning for anything at all.

But I love them all the same.

In this desolate rock I lived

In a place few of my kind came,

They were my ever-present company

For days and nights.

I love them, I love them a lot

Even the giants that came loved them too,

Loved them enough to freshen them

To be as beautiful as the glistening sea.

Oh, how I loved them and I do love them,

And I love them regardless of

The strange looks the visitors showed

Because I loved her but she doesn't

Make anything to suggest

She loves me back.

Oh, I love her so much.

I love her and that's all I know.
