Poem
Why do we live unhappy lives Broken in the heart, blinded by the lies. Why can I not see the truth Love has gone away, shattered dreams of youth. Always wrapped around your fingers Believing every word you say. It’s not me who hears your whispers Another listens every day. Why do I sit here ‘til it’s late Footsteps in the dark, I just sit and wait. Why can I not numb the pain Broken in the heart, loving you in vain. Pretence and more denial I smell her perfume on your shirt. Heart must harden for survival Protect myself from constant hurt. Why continue with this life Sun no longer shines, I can't be your wife. Why not stop and let me go Sorrow lingers close, I am not your beau. Waiting for your comfort and caresses I crave what now has gone. I can’t taste the sweetness of your kisses Another gets, what I so long. Why don’t you just walk away Leave me on my own, I don’t want you to stay. Why can’t you hear what I have said Bitter taste is left, soon no longer Wed. I won’t be wrapped around your fingers I won’t hear a single word you say. Feelings no longer linger I just get stronger every day. Why do we live unhappy lives. Broken hearts will mend, open up your eyes 30th July 2018
