Your Broken Heart

Girl, I’ve sat where you sit many times before

In love with someone who doesn’t love you

the way you love them

You may not believe me, but

I’m truly sorry that you now have to pick up

the pieces of your broken heart and

try to move on finding someone who will

love you as you deserve to be loved

I can see why you love the man I often refer to as

the “Love of my life”   

I love him for some of the same reasons you do

He’s kind, caring as well as giving of the heart God gave him

He makes me laugh and when the tears start flowing

he’s there to wipe them away

I know all you want is to have

 a small taste of the love we share, but

I’m here to say you can’t have a taste from him and       

oh by the way, if he tells you

 I’m out of his system I’ll never be too far away

You had your chance my dear and

 if this were another time and place

you might be the one writing this poetic verse  

He chose me now all I want is to live in love

with all the happiness he and I have to share

I pray you find someone who will mend 

 your broken heart so you don’t play with

the fire you’ve been lucky not to touch yet, but

a word to the wise if you play with fire eventually

you’ll get burned
