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 10-29-17

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

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!!

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.

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

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!
