Broken Hearts.

You told us that you love her
said no more hurt will she receive
you'll care for and tend to her needs
no more tears will land on her sleeves

You said you'll provide not provoke
you would not push her, or poke
you knew how much she'd been hurt before
you were there, when she walked from that door !

We believed the promises you made
hoped your love would help bad memories fade
instead, you crumbled her world
added tears torture and shame

Shame, because she blames her self
tears, as she's now there again
her heart being torn in two ways
as she loves you ? But knows all the pain...

Some distance they say may repair
the tear that you've caused in her heart
though seeing her living without you
we know that it's pulling her apart

Knowing, that she'll have you back
sometime down her heartbroken track
concerns us as promises made
long ago seemed to so quickly fade

The chance to rekindle being given
by the love of your life, so you say !
Cruel words, degradement and anger
to your wife, should no longer be sprayed

By no means is she perfect or placid
this you knew as you pledged and gave rings
does not give you the right to throw acid
in the form of the words that so sting

The love that you had created beauty
what happened to push it away ?
Your child, a sweet pure image,
of the love you are setting astray !

If this marriage is going to succeed
then all venom and hurt must receed
reunite and rekindle your true love
not feed on sarcasum and hurts grief

From the outside, again I'm agrieved
as a mother don't like what I've seen
although knowing apart, won't repair
concerned of the life you both share !
