Her Tears Fell Like Drops of Spring Rain

Her Tears Fell Like Drops Of Spring Rain

That weeping broken heart so deep in despair
beating in the bosom of a maiden so fair
No bright Sun in her miserable, darkened sky
she knows the hurt and desires to know why

He lied so well, singing such a false song
remembering his great love seemed so strong
Her tears fell like drops of cold Spring rain
as her young body shook with shivering pain

Young love danced, it gave her such a thrill
never thought he could such a love ever kill
Memories cascaded into her feverish mind
never again would such a prince she ever find

That dark reality finally began to sink in
he was a monster and never her loving friend
What to do when hurt stabs so long and deep
pour it out in falling tears, have a good weep

Cruel is the lesson her broken heart learned
none of this deep misery had the fair lady earned
Would Fate deal with that monster, that fraud
if only she could see it , to laugh and applaud!

Thanks Vera. Very happy you enjoyed the piece. Was nice to write about a relationship that was not part of my past. The girl was my cousin and the guy I was once friends with. After his actions I dropped him as a friend. 40 years ago , a long time but still fresh in my memory.
