Fill in the blanks

Use the following first and last words from lines of poetry for inspiration. When you're done, the originals are in the comments. (They're probably familiar.)

She ... from
Yesterday ... gone
While ... bright
Or ... night
No ... knows
She ... goes

Don't ... free
She'll ... be
She ... chained
To ... gained
And ... lost

Lose ... dreams
And ... mind
Ain't ... unkind

Finished ... mind

All ... satisfy
Think ... pacify
Can ... brain
I ... find
I ... blind
Make ... cry
Happiness ... unreal
And ... state

So ... far
Couldn't ... heart
Forever ... are
And ... matters

Never ... way
Life ... way
All ... say
And ... matters

Trust ... you
Every ... new

  1. Here are the original lyrics, including the choruses which I removed for the prompt.

    Ruby TuesdayRolling Stones
    Lyrics by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards

    She would never say where she came from
    And yesterday don't matter if it's gone
    And while the sun is bright
    Or in the darkest night
    No one knows
    She comes and goes

    Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
    Who could hang a name on you?
    When you change with every new day
    Still I'm gonna miss you

    Don't question why she needs to be so free
    She'll tell you it's the only way to be
    And she just can't be chained
    To a life where nothings gained
    And nothings lost
    At such a cost

    Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
    Who could hang a name on you?
    If you change with every new day
    Still I'm gonna miss you

    There's no time to lose, I heard her say
    Go catch your dreams before they slip away
    And dying all the time
    Lose your dreams
    And you will lose your mind
    Ain't life unkind?

    And goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
    Who could hang a name on you?
    When you change with every new day
    Still I'm gonna miss you

    And goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
    Who could hang a name on you?
    When you change with every new day
    Still I'm gonna miss you

    =====
    ParanoidLyrics by Black Sabbath

    Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind
    people think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time
    All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
    Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify
    Can you help me occupy my brain?
    Oh yeah

    I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find
    I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind
    Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
    Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal
    And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
    I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late

    =====
    Nothing Else MattersMetallica
    Lyrics by James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich

    So close no matter how far
    Couldn't be much more from the heart
    Forever trusting who we are
    And nothing else matters

    Never opened myself this way
    Life is ours, we live it our way
    All these words I don't just say
    And nothing else matters

    Trust I seek and I find in you
    Every day for us something new
    Open mind for a different view
    And nothing else matters

    Never cared for what they do
    Never cared for what they know
    But I know

    So close no matter how far
    It couldn't be much more from the heart
    Forever trusting who we are
    And nothing else matters

    Never cared for what they do
    Never cared for what they know
    But I know


    I never opened myself this way
    Life is ours, we live it our way
    All these words I don't just say
    And nothing else matters

    Trust I seek and I find in you
    Every day for us something new
    Open mind for a different view
    And nothing else matters

    Never cared for what they say
    Never cared for games they play
    Never cared for what they do
    Never cared for what they know
    And I know

    So close no matter how far
    Couldn't be much more from the heart
    Forever trusting who we are
    No, nothing else matters
