Jan Allison Poet Lyric

Notes About The Poem

Sad Eyes

Sad dark brown eyes
I wish I could take away your pain
Bring a smile to your face once again
Thought we’d always be together
Now I know nothing lasts forever

Gentle tears freely fall
I’ve tried to help, but every day 
You push me further and further away 
Thought we’d always be together
Now I know nothing lasts forever

You’ve been holding back
I can’t break down the walls
Now you don’t answer my calls
Thought we’d always be together
Now I know nothing lasts forever

Things will never be as they were before
I’ve tried and tried there’s no denying
But you keep your distance; I know you’re lying
Thought we’d always be together
Now I know nothing lasts forever

Once we were so in love 
Used to share our hopes and dreams
Now my worlds in tatters or so it seems
Thought we’d always be together
Now I know nothing lasts forever

I can't take no more deception
I’m gonna have to walk away
Hope you find happiness anyway
Thought we’d always be together
Now I know nothing lasts forever

David Mcsorley September 29, 2015 at 9:35 AM Beautiful poem Jan, it shows all the stages of breaking up to the inevitable final release. I noticed you based this on Don't It Make My Brown Eye's Blue, that used to be one of my favourite songs in the sixties. Dave :)x Jan Allison September 29, 2015 at 9:57 AM Thanks for the lovely comment David I often get inspired by listening to music:-)Hugs Jan xx

Paul Callus August 29, 2015 at 2:39 PM Sad emotions! A relationship coming to an end, not through lack of trying, but the writing is there on the wall. Heartfelt lyrics. Hugs // paul Jan Allison August 29, 2015 at 6:33 PM Thanks Paul i have written 2 lyrics recently both emotional breaking up poems - this one was inspired by listening to Chrystal Gale's song Don't it make my brown eyes blue:-) hugs jan xx

Neva Romaine August 28, 2015 at 3:21 PM Hey Jan, stopped by for a visit. This is a heartwrenching piece from you. Deeply expressed emotion and yet..the willingness to let go. Beautifully written. Be Blessed, Neva Jan Allison August 28, 2015 at 3:41 PM Thanks so much Neva it is a fiction write from me but I guess others can relate:-) hugs Jan xx

Alexis Y. August 27, 2015 at 11:49 PM WoW! Jan these are universal lyrics. These lyrics put to wax become hits because we all can relate to them. Great poem! :-)Alexis Jan Allison August 28, 2015 at 3:38 PM So glad you are back Alexis - I had a break in June but I need to write.

But I got rejuvenated becsuse I was encouraged by people here on the soup and I'm flying high. Have a good night my soup friend:-)Alexis Jan Allison August 27, 2015 at 11:52 PM Thanks Alexis - I've written 2 sad lyrics recently but I am not particularly sad - stressed but life issues do get in the way lol but the poems are not about my life - I have to go with the flow of my muse:-) hugs Jan xx

Andrea Dietrich August 27, 2015 at 10:44 PM gosh, Jan, you are doing some sad ones recently. I know that summer ending makes me wax melancholy and I know you are stressed these days. It is a very nice poem and sounds like the lyrics to a song. I don't even have time to write for anything except contests. I'm amazed you do poems every day and some not for contests! You are a wizard!! Jan Allison August 27, 2015 at 11:42 PM I'll be glad when the year is over on an emotional level - clearing mum's house is so tough but I'm not tearful just stressed with so much to do lol- its like I've lost them both but shes very much still with us:-) hugs Jan xx

Kp Nunez August 27, 2015 at 9:23 PM Oh, this is just so sad and flowing with deep emotion, Jan. The repetition adds to the desperation and realization. Glad to see this is pure fiction! PS.About earlier, I hope you keep things to a manageable level. Your health is much more important, that's what I realized last week. Take care. hugs! Jan Allison August 27, 2015 at 11:40 PM Got a few emotional issues especially clearing the house - its like I've lost mum - guess I am finding it hard:-( hugs jan xx

Demetrios Trifiatis August 27, 2015 at 9:21 AM A lesson in life that we are taught many times but we have never learned, dear Jan, expressed through verses of regret and grandeur! Jan Allison August 27, 2015 at 1:56 PM Thanks for the lovely comment my friend:-) hugs jan xx

Michael Tor August 27, 2015 at 9:19 AM Sad eyes for a little while. In time, comes a happy smile. Relationships are not well when one disappoints the other. The heart fairy needs to wave her magic wand and mend those broken hearts.. Nicely written. Jan Allison August 27, 2015 at 1:55 PM Thanks Michael:-) hugs Jan xx

Marion Mwangi August 27, 2015 at 8:58 AM i feel the person in this poem though sad she/he is strong. able to walk away Jan Allison August 27, 2015 at 1:55 PM Thanks Marion - yes able to walk away no matter hard the circumstances sometimes we have to let go:-) hugs Jan xx

Paul Schneiter August 27, 2015 at 8:17 AM Premium quality--that's what you get with this poem. The flow takes the reader stanza-by-stanza to the poem's core message, "nothing lasts forever." Jan has clearly crafted another jewel. I love it. Hugs and hugs and hugs. Jan Allison August 27, 2015 at 1:54 PM Thanks Paul thankfully these sad lyrics are pure fiction on my part my muse has a mind of her own I have no control:-) hugs Jan xx

Ian Jones August 27, 2015 at 8:11 AM I like the way you ask and ask but get no reply, so true to reality. We can handle most things but it's the uncertainty of unanswered questions which drives me nuts to the point where I put it out of it's misery and make the decision, wrong or right. End of rant. Kind regards, Ian Jan Allison August 27, 2015 at 1:53 PM My muse takes me on an emotional journey - 2 sad lyrics but not a reflection on my life but i have to go with the flow of my pen:-) hugs jan xx

Casarah Nance August 27, 2015 at 7:59 AM The repetition in this is perfect for the enhancement of the poem... It is a challenge to move on, go in a different direction...Good write Jan. hugsxx Jan Allison August 27, 2015 at 8:04 AM I've written a couple of sad lyrics in the past 2 days - no reflection on how I feel I have to go with the flow of my muse:-) hugs Jan xx
