To Soothe Her Heart

To Soothe Her Heart I sat in despair, the pained look my stare silently weeping behind dark closed doors My world crashed because she was not there heart and soul shatters as my misery pours The early morning hours drag on in despair I stumble away doing my boring daily chores Never a moment forgetting she does not care those terrible fights we had by the scores Soon the dreaming of repairs come to mind rehearsing sweet words to soothe her heart first off, where she is now I have to find beg her return again for our loving restart I rise from that despair to pursue my quest look for my lady love in all the old places Speak to her of forever doing my very best to dance away with smiles on both our faces If only such a happy ending had came about for my lady love rejected all my epic pleas Sent me away with her cursing with a shout not even if you cried begging on your knees! R.J. Lindley JULY 19, 1977 note: Written when I was 23 years old and in a rejected , dejected and wickedly bad state. Live and learn, life journeys ever forth....

A heart felt write Robert - life is such a journey with many twists and turns and we can all look back and have regrets about the past and what might have been... if only we had maybe done things differently :-) hugs jan xx
