Life's Boulevard
life's boulevard
Lost in the darkness
of my own life's boulevard
Where dreams lay shattered
and strewn all around
I find no tenderness
or joy left in my heart.
I often I wonder if it mattered.
As I hear my own lonely heart pound
I seek a way out of this
But no light comes to me
My life was once full and complete
With love and some directions
Where it went wrong I must've missed
but heartbreak brought on misery
as we felt the weight of painful defeat
Now all that remains are broken reflections.
Am I destined to live in the desolate
place I once proudly called home
Where once laughter could be heard
There was someone I cared for
The feelings were easy to relate
We knew we wouldn't be alone
But now it all floods me and hurts
Making me wish I wasn't here anymore
of my own life's boulevard
Where dreams lay shattered
and strewn all around
I find no tenderness
or joy left in my heart.
I often I wonder if it mattered.
As I hear my own lonely heart pound
I seek a way out of this
But no light comes to me
My life was once full and complete
With love and some directions
Where it went wrong I must've missed
but heartbreak brought on misery
as we felt the weight of painful defeat
Now all that remains are broken reflections.
Am I destined to live in the desolate
place I once proudly called home
Where once laughter could be heard
There was someone I cared for
The feelings were easy to relate
We knew we wouldn't be alone
But now it all floods me and hurts
Making me wish I wasn't here anymore

I'm a wife and mother of 2 grown kids. I have 6 cats, Mostly females. I write a lot of poetry and have 2 novels ready to publish. I use both my birth name and my married name for writing and facebook to separate me from others that have the same names. I live with a lot of health issues. I worked till 2012 before things increased. in the way of issues. so now I volunteer in 3 places and do housework and writing the rest of the time. There is a lot more to me than just this little bit.
