Silly love Song

I was feeling silly today, so I started writing a sad song. The humour in this is inspired by some of the lyrics I've heard in country songs.

[chorus]
All the great songs are love songs
Extremely sad love songs
So for love of my art
I broke my own heart
Now I write love songs
Extremely sad love songs
But I hate my art
Because it’s broken my heart

[verse 1]
Our past was so perfect
That’s the reason for my tears
Remembering hurts
And pain’s not changed by years
When you would smile, I would smile
Because your happiness was my joy
And my heart would start singing
Making a joyful noise
We argued almost never
And I wanted you for forever
To love and to cherish
To appreciate and treasure
I felt lucky to have met you
And to have you love me
And I thought our love would be
Eternal until infinity
But something inside of me
Took issue with my bliss
When my pen would hit paper
It would produce blank pages
I found I couldn’t write
Without despair, tears and rages
I need pain and impatience
Anger, frustration
I mean who’s heard of good art
Conceived in positive emotions
Happiness brings a trickle
But pain makes an ocean
I needed to get open
To get creative juices flowing
I had to write my poems
That’s why our hearts are broken
