Broken Heart

When things in life don't go your way
When your life now seems so unfair
Perhaps you've had someone betray
A life you gave that you laid bare

When your life now seems so unfair
Because of all of you're going through
A life you gave that you laid bare
To someone who once said "I do"

Because of all you're going through
Makes you wonder why it went so wrong
To someone who once said "I do"
Is someone you want to tell so long

Makes you wonder why it went so wrong
Now with God's help He'll see you through
Is someone you want to tell so long
Because you want that love so true

Now with God's help He'll see you through
So put your trust in Him don't fear
Because you want that love so true
Now makes you stop and dry that tear

So put your trust in Him don't fear
As you fight for what you treasure
Now makes you stop and dry that tear
Because this love you cannot measure

As you fight for what you treasure
Perhaps you've had someone betray
Because this love you cannot measure
When things in life don't go your way

Eve Roper Date: 8/26/2018 1:04:00 PM Nicely done, Charles, you shown a deep heartache in poem, enjoyed reading. Hugs Eve Login to Reply Charles Reese Date: 8/26/2018 1:27:00 PM I don't like seeing people go through this pain. I always try to give hope.

Carole Duet Date: 8/26/2018 12:52:00 PM Lovely poem, Charles, and I feel your pain. However, since you don't receive soupmail I will have to use this to give you a couple of suggestions: (1) in your 2nd and 3rd verses, you need to change "your" (possessive pronoun) to "you're" (conjunction for "you are") and (2) in the 4th verse add an apostrophe to "Gods" like this > "God's" since it is a possessive noun. Otherwise, the poem is great. Login to Reply Charles Reese Date: 8/26/2018 1:26:00 PM Thanks for the help, corrections made. I hate seeing marriages that once held such promise fall apart. I'm glad you enjoyed this poem.
