Sometimes a Wake Up call Comes Too Late!!

She never complained When I stayed out late 'Guess I never knew How hard it was, to sit home and wait Her trust was deep And her love was strong But she let me know..... tonight She'd been silent too long Not in so many words Not one was spoken But after so many hurts Her heart's finally broken On a long streak of lonely That ran into years She's saying.....she's leaving In so many tears Now the sound of her pain Rings loud and clear I'm down on my knees Begging her please, But she just can't hear I'd give anything If she'd scream and shout But she's speaking volumes As she's walking out.... Not in so many words Not one was spoken But after so many hurts Her heart's finally broken On a long streak of lonely That ran into years She's saying.....she's leaving In so many tears Protected by copyright Colab. with Joy Swinea

Chuck I am positive I commented on this my friend. It is so strikingly heartbreaking and beautiful one would not forget! I don't know what happened but I am glad to read it again.

Got goosebumps reading this, Chuck because the lyrics are so amazing and perfect. I wish so much that I could hear this being sung with music in a country song. You are so talented!

WOW! This is just so damn heartfelt and beautiful, Chuck and Joy. It's time to break open that bottle of 'wept woebegone wine' because this write is soulful and stirring and swept me away on its wondrously rhythmic and regretfully sad current. Pure and emotional - love it!

a brilliant depiction..I loved reading it from start to finish..especially these sad but lyrical words:Not in so many words Not one was spoken But after so many hurts Her heart's finally broken On a long streak of lonely That ran into years She's saying.....she's leaving In so many tears
