Broken Hearts, Broken Dreams


She sighed in despair after an anxious await For a phone call from her latest mistake. Rejected again for a night with the guys She sits home alone and puts up with his lies. The tears fall down as the truth sets in She swore to herself she wouldn't fall for this again. Where is her prince charming? Where did he go? I guess there are just some things she will never know. The sleeping child she's holding will never know her dad She'll never quite understand why her mommy is sad She may not ever wonder "where did daddy go?" But deep inside her heart she's dying to know. So she grows up alone without a father there Mom is working three jobs Does she really care? She's pregnant at a young age She's scared to death to show The father left her all alone and her mom doesn't even know. So the moral of this story I bet you could have guessed Be careful who you choose First isn't always best Don't waste your life searching For what you cannot see Keep your heart locked away And be careful who gets the key

So the moral of this story I bet you could have guessed Be careful who you choose First isn't always best Don't waste your life searching For what you cannot see Keep your heart locked away And be careful who gets the key this is the summary to the poem great job in expressing yourself-bet it even sounds better if you were to recite it keep writing
