A Broken Home

is Where the Heart is

Home is where the heart is

That’s what people say

So I have no home anymore

Since you went away

You took my heart with you

And never even looked back

To see me lying there bleeding

From your heartless attack

How am I supposed to go on?

How am I supposed to cope?

With all of my dreams reduced to dust

And nothing left of hope

I thought you were my one and only

I thought I was your true love

But I guess I never saw your true face

Or what you were really made of

You didn’t stand by me

When the going got too tough

I guess I loved you more than you loved me

Or you just didn’t love me enough

So now our home lies broken

Foundation cracked and shattered

And I’m here picking up the pieces you left

Bent, broken, and battered

sad poetry
