About This Poem

Yes It Is

Cryin' seems such a useless thing to do
yet, all I do is sit and cry for you now.
I see you in each sunrise and it's so true
your black heart has cut me to the marrow.

I begged you not to leave me and that's wrong
a rakish smile was all you left me with then.
But, here I sit and write out this damn love song
tryin' to melt your hardened heart with a pen.

I cry for you each night as the sun sets
no car headlights come to fill my darkened room
all i have is memories and deep regrets
I'll surely take them with me to the tomb.

Black and blue you've left me and it's true
you never cared as much as I did, hear me.
losing you was best for me, long over do
the crying's done, it's over I so decree.

    Congratulations Cher!...Great idea here, choosing one of their lesser known writes...I think this song was kind of a forerunner of what they would later evolve into...You done them proud! -Tim

    Debbie, I truly loved reading this one. I especially loved the second verse and the idea of "tryin' to melt [a] hardened heart with a pen." Anyone on this site can understand that! Congrats on your win in my contest :)

    This is a sad poem. There is a saying don't cry for someone that don't cry for you. Sometimes it's bestto let go. Lucilla

    Debbie this is so good.. so sad.. happens all too often.. many lonely hearts out there. well I love the line "losing you was best for me" We have to look at it that way.

    This would be a terrific country song........not to make light of such heartache......which I hope isn't a non fiction personal account of your own. (pray tell........I hope not!)
