Ballad of a Broken Heart
This is a spoken word I wrote a few days ago when I saw a picture from an artist and was inspired to write this. It was an image of a girl wearing a wedding gown and was crying. I figured I'd write something to sum up the pain she was in.
I waited by the phone waiting on your call
(Only just the lonely sound of silence)
I hope you're not angry with the way I acted on our date.
I hope you'll forgive me for saying those awful things.
It should have been a fun time together, it ended up in hate.
I want you to know that I'm sorry for the way things went,
I'm sorry it didn't go the way we planned.
(Don't leave me this way)
(I wanted, I wanted you to stay)
I wanted you to call me friend and lover.
I wanted to hold you close.
Our date ended in a raging anger that couldn't be controlled.
I want to say I'm sorry, if you'll only hear me out.
I was out of control out of line I was out of my mind.
Fueled by a fiery anger that couldn't be controlled, I took things too far.
I wish I could take things back, but the damage has been done.
(Please just hear me out)
I want you to know that I'm sorry for the way things went,
I'm sorry it didn't go the way we planned.
(Don't leave me this way)
(I wanted, I wanted you to stay)
I wanted you to call me loving husband.
I wanted to be called a father.
I wanted to hold our child close by.
I'm so full of anger and hate for what I've done
That silence is all I hear as I wait by the phone
It's not right you won't return my calls at night.
I messed up I admit that, but I want to make things right
If you won't hear me out, I might as well end my life tonight.
(Don't leave me this way)
(I wanted, I wanted you to stay)
I wanted you call me darling. I wanted to play catch, now all I have is silence.
In this dark and lonely tomb.
Anger brings out the worst in us a sad tale of broken hearts.
A man fueled by anger caused by a cheating heart,
Lost his temper when he found out the girl he loved was with child.
He wouldn't listen to reason, so he took his life one night, thinking it wasn't his.
If only he had remembered to plug his phone up at night.
He would have heard the truth, the kid was his all along.
He just wouldn't hear it, from a cheating heart.
