A Broken Heart

by Robert Daniel Long   Sep 15, 2008


It just breaks my heart
To see children cry
When they should be laughing

It makes me hurt inside

It's a cry of hurt
A cry of fear
Mothers and fathers........,
Seem not to care
They don't listen.............,
To the silent tear

A marriage breaks up
People drift apart
They don't stop to see.............,
The broken little heart

It's in not understanding
That makes them cry
It's in all the questions
Of who
What
And why

It's the look of anguish
From this saddening sight
The pain they feel

They know things aren't right

Am I losing my daddy
And my mommy too
Was it all my fault..........,
What happened to you

These are some things
That we should hear
Draw your children close
And lend them your ear

I look at my children
And I've shed many a tear
To look at their faces
And to feel what they fear

It's in the..................,Please don't leave me
And the....................,I don't want to go home

It breaks my heart
When I've to take them home

They always know
But they always ask

Why don't you want me

When you break apart

It just breaks my heart
To see children crying
When they should be laughing
