Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

Lousy Crocodile Tears Just Let Them Fall

Lousy Crocodile Tears Just Let Them Fall

I wrote you and you answered me not
I sent you all my love, and all I got
Your beauty fantastic but ears are not
Went to a bar and got drunk as a sot
Dawn marched in, my mind cleared right up
I then drank my coffee from golden cup
No, I did not forget your pretty face
My dear, your character is a disgrace
Selfish is certainly your middle name
My dear love and romance is not a game
Pure truth and light is in its vital core
Truth is, I do not love you anymore
Lousy crocodile tears just let them fall
I am happy now dancing down the hall
This is my last note, so please cry some more
Man am I, but sorry you are a who**

Robert J. Lindley. 16 verse sonnet
NOV. 11TH 1971 , written at age 17..

Note. 
Adios, please do not write me or call
We are done, you cheated and that is all.

Note:
Stop calling my mother, she has no way to make me see you anymore.

Valsa George July 19, 2023 at 8:58 PM A painful experience of betrayal in love. I am really surprised that at such a young age of 17 you could write a beautiful sonnet... ! Stay blessed dear Robert.

Truth is she was truly an evil person. She played me for about 5 months... She was dating another guy from Memphis TN. I was just 17 he was 26 and he was very wealthy. Life ever marches forward. God bless.
