Broken Hearted and Busted

BROKEN HEARTED AND BUSTED Broken hearted and busted by the woman I trusted When she fooled with the bachelor next door. He’s tall, good looking and works out with weights Living off income from family before. She claims it is I who must shoulder the blame For her ongoing need for a another. I worked to much and played to little Though she still loves me like a brother. So here I dwell in my sportsman’s camper Parked at a rest stop just outside of town. She got the house, child support and alimony Which will last till I’m dead in the ground. What was I thinking of when I married her I must have been blinded by lust. Thank heaven I’m free of her wicked ways To search for my angel of trust. I pray for a women to love me again Though I’m stripped of my worldly wealth. Lost in the haze of tears and sorrow As my sadness overwhelms my health. They say all is fair in politics and love So prepare for the unexpected. There’s nothing worse than to give of yourself To wake up and find you’re rejected. By Tom Zart
