A Day After a Broken Heart

Why, I know it happened just the other day didn't it? We loved each other, filled the hours and now it's all so far away. Didn't we used to live together? Warm our nights? And dream about a place all our own? And didn't it all seem just right? Songs, they all say love is forever at least all the ones that don't have broken hearts. Can love go and not return ever? Last night, as I waited for sleep, the old dreams played again like a favorite movie But in an empty theater now. I lay awake so my eyes might weep. Somehow, I didn't want to know ... didn't want to be just this way for all time. When I'm older and gray will I still be alone? And my heirs Will I have fathered but verses and rhyme?
