Jan Allison Poet Lyric

Guess It's Over

Never thought it would be easy
After all these years
You’d leave me all alone
To face my lonely fears

Promised me the earth
When I became your bride
Said we were forever
Always side by side

I’m sitting here without you
You were my guiding light
Now you’ve turned your back on me
So I’ve given up without a fight

In time I’ll move on
Now you’ve let me go
One day I may find love again
When my broken heart gets strong

Would I take you back
If you came begging on bended knee
Guess I’m not so sure
I’m getting used to being free


Penned after listening to 3 doors down 'Here without you'
Contest I love rock and roll

Paul Callus November 14, 2014 at 2:59 PM Some people want the best of two worlds; they expect to walk away to have fun, and then to come back as if nothing happened. The answer to them lies in that final line. Well done, Jan. // paul Jan Allison November 14, 2014 at 3:00 PM So so true Paul and so very sad and the hurt that is caused must be unbearable when all trust has gone:-( Hugs jan xx

Maurice Yvonne November 13, 2014 at 7:50 AM You might of let me known privately. Even a text would have been better than this...BUT in front of all the Soupers? I am so embarrassed. The only reason I turned my back on you...well I was naked, I am a little shy and ok I'll admit it I have a great ass. I mean I turned back around and you were gone...well I felt like a dick and obviously you didn't. Jan Allison November 13, 2014 at 8:04 AM SHHHH Maurice! Why are you telling the whole soup world:-( I'm so sorry :-(Hugs Jan xx
