Broken Trust, Dying of Love

Broken Trust, Dying Of Love Baby, nobody came when I cried out for you if I were a lawyer maybe I would just sue if a doctor, would heal my sad heart too Nobody came baby, when my hot tears fell the 'ole world has completely gone to hell they say the sun is shining but I can not tell Baby, nobody came, what the hell do I do Oh my sweet darlin', what shall I ever do Crying in my cereal, tears falling in my tea baby, this damn hurtin', is all over me I miss your lovin', that was so damn good I'd crawl back to you, if only I ever could prayin' you will come back, if only you would Watched you leave, be damned if I know why this damn hurtin' makes my soul want to die tears are fallin' like raindrops from the sky Taking my medicine, out back on the patio drinking my whiskey, with Petty on the radio my livin' without you, so damn sad you know saddest sight I ever saw, was watching you go I remember your touch, each and every kiss Baby, thats the pain in what I so dearly miss Darlin', I forgive you every lie you ever told if only you'd return here for me just to hold we can forgive each other, never again scold Hurtin' all over me, has me in such despair got me starving to death, whiting in my hair return to my love and end this eternal scare Baby, you broke my heart, shattered my mind got me drinkin' whiskey, the strongest kind Darlin', you got me crying all the damn time writing all of this pain out in sad poetic rhyme Still nobody comes, as I scream out your name come on back, on me place all the damn blame Without your sweet love, nothing is the same baby move back in, my wild ways you did so tame O' Baby, baby, I simply have to tell you this Every damn good thing about you is what I miss! Robert J. Lindley--- Note: Written so damn long ago. I remember all the damn hurtin', why she left I still don't know. Next three years I lived inflicting pain, back into me --it left a miserable stain. Life giveth and life taketh away, yet why I was broken I know not even to do this day! Looking back, I see a wild man that needed his ass straightened out! Now that I'm so blessed, I know it was a gift, of that I have no doubt..

Yes, I wrote in lyrics in a song form... Originally started as a song that I abandoned when I discovered that I sing like a sick frog in a tin bucket! Then I finished it as a poem..

This has a country feel to it. I'm glad you found a way to happiness and wholeness Robert. To bad that you now have to live with that flat ass since it was straightened out!

Your words are well chosen and convey a meaning that flows smoothly into the next line of thought. You have a good sense of rhyme and rhythm and add feeling through your word choices. A gentle song like poem that flows with a sorrowful beat. Emile.

The hurt and longing can easily be felt in these lines. Writing is a good way to ease the pain of a broken heart... This was a very real and emotive write. Great work, my friend!

Robert, A sad one here indeed. I think most of us who've lived some decades have experienced at one time or another in our lives a similar experience or circumstance. I guess these particular events, when we learn from them, make each of us stronger. But the recurring pain and lingering memories may always be locked behind that so-called "Iron Door" in one's psyche (my thought here). A "7" + FAV from me my very good friend. Best Wishes to you and your family!! Best Always, Gary
