'broken Strings'

“You can’t play on broken strings” And still you made me feel like I had wings Until that day you walked away I had to try and keep the tears at bay “When you cried, I’d wipe away all of your tears” For months I help to fend away all your fears We became one through all the trials We shared so many smiles “According to you” Our time was overdue You moved on without a word I once again became a flightless bird “So I am already gone” It was written in the stone Our love was not meant to last You’re not part of my future, you are my past… Broken strings – James Morrison feat Nelly Furtado My Immortal - Evanescence According to you - Orianthi Already gone – Kelly Clarkson 07/05/2011

oh youchy to be at the receiving end of this! But very nicely done, Wilma! Really liked how you were able to make the lines of your poem flow with the lyrics you chose (hmm not crazy choices actually ^_~) just one typo for "of" in the lyric of Evanescence... hugs to you :) I think I have to go sleep now...lol zzzz

Awesome how you combined portions of song lyrics to come up with this meaningful poem. Sad, dear, but also extremely well written. Kelly Clarkson is quite popular here in the states. Hope you are with your family and enjoying a happy Mother's Day. Best wishes in Chris's great contest. Love, Carolyn
