Black Heart As Jagged Stones

Black Heart As Jagged Stones You asked me to be kind You asked me, humbly wait Begged me to cheer, not mind Your toying with my sad fate! Your heart beats fast and hard Your liver stays filled with bile Love you cry is your best card My life stolen, for a while. Try to understand my dismay My misery in your sour basket You kiss to get your selfish way I gave all when you asked it. Your world, love is but rags my heart, but crushed bones Seen now, you a wicked hag Black heart as jagged stones. I shoe my feet, race and flee Your grasp, a wicked hold You words, poison in my tea Stale bread with black mold. You asked me to be kind You asked me, humbly wait You beg me cheer, not mind Your toying with my sad fate! R.J. Lindley July 19th 1975 Old note( 1975) - You took my heart spliced and diced until it was in shreds now you rather have drugs in your addicted head. Wake up, a true love you'll find. Release our marriage from this dark and tragic bind! New Note- This Poem written when my life was in deep blues. Describing her on drugs, turned from a truly loving and great lady, into a unreasonable and most wicked beast. I could find no way to save the lady I so desperately loved(my first wife, addicted to drugs). Now I look back, and wonder, should I have tried even harder after at least at least, a hundred failed attempts!
