Roy Pett Poet Verse

Your Favourite Song

My favourite song ( What becomes of the broken hearted )
Loop poetry.

We ask so many difficult questions
questions we are unable to answer
answer to those who have had hearts broken
broken hearts of honest to empower,

People like us still walk this lonely land
land of so much sadness and illusion 
illusion of love, happiness and peace
peace something without any confusion,

Though everyday our aches, pains grow stronger
stronger and stronger, cold and all alone
alone I search for light, comfort and hope
hope someone who cares, and will not condone,

Moving, not going anywhere knowing
knowing not of what becomes of broken
broken hearted leaving those departed
departed love ones, we show emotion,

what become of those heart broken people
people whose loved ones have now departed
departed this land with no ifs no what
what does become of the broken hearted.

15th April 2017.
Contest :- your favourite song,
What becomes of the broken hearted, ( Jimmy Ruffin )
