I am a writer. My passion is poetry. I feel words connect people together and help us to understand the feelings we share.

Your manners and ways,
words spoken in haste,
no amount of love
will ever erase
this etching in my mind.

You created a wedge
between your heart and mine,
faded feelings
now drifting away
with time.

So true, Brenda, without heartache there would be very few country and western songs.

BRENDA ARLEDGE (author) from Washington Court House on August 06, 2019:

Thank you, John.

I think we all can write sad poems, after all what would country and western music be without heartaches?

So glad you enjoyed the song. It is a little older and not too well known, but fitting.

John Hansen from Queensland Australia on August 06, 2019:

Sad poem but well-written, Brenda. I like the song too.

ValKaras,

Thank you. I am glad you find this short piece of work beautiful.

You are right, he does not deserve her.

Brenda -- It's a beautiful poem; he obviously doesn't deserve her.
