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

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 ... blind
Make ... cry
Happiness ... unreal
And ... state

So ... far

And ... matters

Trust ... you
Every ... new

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
