Broken Heart

When things in life don't go your way When your life now seems so unfair Perhaps you've had someone betray A life you gave that you laid bare When your life now seems so unfair Because of all of you're going through A life you gave that you laid bare To someone who once said "I do" Because of all you're going through Makes you wonder why it went so wrong To someone who once said "I do" Is someone you want to tell so long Makes you wonder why it went so wrong Now with God's help He'll see you through Is someone you want to tell so long Because you want that love so true Now with God's help He'll see you through So put your trust in Him don't fear Because you want that love so true Now makes you stop and dry that tear So put your trust in Him don't fear As you fight for what you treasure Now makes you stop and dry that tear Because this love you cannot measure As you fight for what you treasure Perhaps you've had someone betray Because this love you cannot measure When things in life don't go your way

Beautifully written pantoum Charles, we humans are so fickle and experience so many emotions, well written my friend. :))

Very sad, but beautifully written, Charles, as encouragement and support for couples drifting apart. I enjoyed reading your poem. Sandra

I'm glad you liked it. I don't like seeing marriages go wrong and always want to see them get back together if possible.

I don't like seeing people go through this pain. I always try to give hope.

Lovely poem, Charles, and I feel your pain. However, since you don't receive soupmail I will have to use this to give you a couple of suggestions: (1) in your 2nd and 3rd verses, you need to change "your" (possessive pronoun) to "you're" (conjunction for "you are") and (2) in the 4th verse add an apostrophe to "Gods" like this > "God's" since it is a possessive noun. Otherwise, the poem is great.

Thanks for the help, corrections made. I hate seeing marriages that once held such promise fall apart. I'm glad you enjoyed this poem.
