The Night Before the Heartbreak

The night before the heartbreak
Nothing seems out of place
No signs of any betrayal
No hints upon their face

No empty rooms, filled with tears
The pillows, free from stain
No echo from a single heart
For it's two that still remain

No sad songs on the radio
No reasons for regret
Their name still on the telephone
No numbers to forget

No promises ever broken
For nothing seems amiss
No one ever says goodbye
No final farewell kiss

No reason to remember them
No pain to diagnose
The night before the heartbreak
Is the time that hurts the most

So true, Larry. It seems like there is a sense of impending doom -- we know something bad is about to happen. Very sad reflection on coping with loss. Best wishes, Carolyn
