Jan Allison Poet Lyric

Notes About The Poem

Lyin' Eyes

People say time's a great healer
but my wounds they cut too deep
I still visualise your lying eyes
when I close my eyes to sleep

I found out you were cheating
when I heard your mobile phone
That darn incessant bleeping
and now you’ve wrecked our happy home

You packed your bags without a word
then headed straight out of the door
Your Jekyll and Hyde act was quite absurd,
I've seen it too many times before

Our friends say you are happy now
and you’re missing our 2-year-old boy
Yet you spend ALL your time with that old cow -
you’re just like a kid with a shiny new toy

People say time is a great healer
but my wounds they cut too deep
I still visualise your lying eyes
when I close my eyes to sleep

Alexis Y. October 30, 2017 at 7:04 PM Wow! Jan, These are some good lyrics. I can definitely see them put to music. As I was singing along in my head , I imagined it as a country song. Excellent job:-) Alexis Jan Allison October 30, 2017 at 7:12 PM Thanks Alexis I never know where my muse will take me and this sad poem came totally out of the blue:-) hugs jan xx

Russell Sivey October 30, 2017 at 5:34 AM This is a very lyrical write my friend, I can visualize this into a song quite easily! What a special write, quite funny that you wrote, "Yet you spend ALL your time with that old cow -." you just had to write something funny within your serious poem to lighten the mood! You piece was very ingenious and wonderful to read! I loved reading it this morning! Great Work!! Jan Allison October 30, 2017 at 3:13 PM Thanks Russell I can't resist a bit of humour or maybe it was sarcasm in this case!:-) hugs jan xx

Kelli White October 29, 2017 at 4:14 PM Don't worry someone else is playing with your broken girl toy now. If he did it to u he will do it to them. Jan Allison October 29, 2017 at 4:32 PM It's just a fiction write for me kelli but you are so right a cheater rarely changes their spots and those lying eyes can't hide their deceit:-( hugs Jan xx

Ilene Bauer October 29, 2017 at 2:30 PM great job with this one, jan! i'm always a bit surprised to see a serious poem from you, (as opposed to your hilarious humorous ones) but i think you could write in any style and come up with a winner. well done! Jan Allison October 29, 2017 at 4:27 PM I never know where my muse will take me Ilene, I much prefer humour but these more serious writes flow from time to time:-) hugs jan xx
