Larry Belt Poet Rhyme

Sad Songs

There's something about those sad songs
That make us want to cry
Written when hearts are broken in two
When someone says goodbye

They play them on the radio
To remind us of our pain
It takes us to an empty place
A place, we can't explain

Sometimes it's just a memory
We never want to lose
We turn out the light late at night
As our hearts start singing the blues

They're written with pain and paper
Whenever you're feeling bad
A verbal tear, we long to hear
A song that makes us sad

There's something about those sad songs
That gives us back control
Written by broken hearted people
And soothes a hollow soul

Gwendolen Song March 6, 2011 at 2:14 PM Larry! The saddest song is "You Lift Me Up"-That was my parent's song. Every time I hear it-where ever I am, I break down crying! My favorite line in your beautiful poem is " they're written with pain and paper." You will touch a lot of folks with this one! Gwendolen
