A Lonely Heart Via Jewell Partee

I am sitting all alone-tonight, weary, sad and blue.

Thinkin of the past my dear, and how I'm missing you,

You know I always loved you, and thought we'd never part.

I hope that you are happy now, with your new found friend,

And that he will treat you kindly, and your joy will never end.

I will try to go through life somehow and do the best I can.

But I know that I will always be a very lonely man.

I tried to make you happy for I loved you from the start.

But all I have to show, is a broken, bleeding heart.

So go ahead and have your fun, I'll always love you true,

And wile your life is filled with joy, remember mine is blue.

This is a poem written by my Great Aunt Jewell Alice 'Crownover' Partee! I only have 4 of her poems that she wrote. She died in the 1994. Jewell Crownover was born to the parents of Matthew Lafayette Crownover (1868-1948), born in Arkansas, and Parthena "Smith" Crownover (1870-1956), born in Tennessee or Indiana. I am trying to keep her poetry in circulation to with mine.
