Brokenhearted Sunsets
When brokenhearted sunsets soak the sky,
she thinks of him and how she did not know
those blissful kisses were his last goodbye
as they embraced in summer’s twilight glow.
She understands some days just end that way -
when brokenhearted sunsets soak the sky -
but wonders why he didn’t even say
a single word! She’s left with just the WHY.
Why give no warning, leaving her to cry
for ages since the time the sky bled red?
When brokenhearted sunsets soak the sky,
she well remembers wishing she were dead.
From time to time, she still feels so bereft,
and even when she meets a decent guy,
it haunts her still the way her first love left -
when brokenhearted sunsets soak the sky.
