Notes About The Poem

We can walk away but....sometimes love won't let us leave!

A Broken Heart Away

From twenty miles away
I can't see her bedroom light
I don't know if she is sleeping
Or...if she stays out all night

'Cause I won't crawl the distance
And I won't break down her door
Begging her to love me
Like she never did before

But, from a broken heart away
I feel her kisses on my skin
Fighting back the teardrops....
Sure wish I had her back again....

To hear those whispers of emotion
When love had the final say
Well....she knows where to find me
I'm just a broken heart away

'Can't see his car parked in her driveway
'Can't see her opening the door
I tell myself it just don't matter
'Cause I don't love her anymore

But from a broken heart away
I feel her kisses on my skin
Fighting back the teardrops
Sure wish I had her back again

To hear those whispers of emotion
When love had the final say
Well...She knows where to find me 
I'm just a broken heart away

Chuck, your lyric is so tenderly poignant in its rational reality and so lost in its lost love longings, a delicate emotional balance that you do so artistically well. You portray heartbreak in such an achingly beautiful way; 'Well...She knows where to find me I'm just a broken heart away' - what exquisite sorrow! My heart breaks for you.. A superbly sad lyric, my talented friend! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
