Poem
Singing a New Song Today I heard a country song I hadn’t heard for many years I closed my eyes and felt the pain Rememb’ring when we shared our love Before the days that broke my heart The memory filled these eyes with tears My cheeks were wet with spilling tears the singer singing her sad song As emptiness invades my heart I gazed down on the lonely years For I no longer have your love And fear I cannot bear the pain It is a low and cutting pain My eyes they shed a million tears As the sad tale of our lost love Is captured in the singer’s song I wonder just how many years To mend a shattered broken heart But will it ever mend, this heart Repair itself and ease the pain I think of all the wasted years Of all the bleak and useless tears Just like the lyrics of the song A troubled, doomed and hopeless love If you came back to claim my love could I entrust you with my heart? Or, like the woman in the song Would your return bring only pain? My life forever filled with tears Throughout more long and lonely years And would it be as in past years You’d pour contempt on my true love You’d laugh at all my pleading tears And ridicule my breaking heart. I must find strength to conquer pain And live no more this mournful song No wasted years, no cruel false heart Disloyal love or wounding pain No hurt or tears in my new song
