    Heartaches Don't Come With Handbrakes (for LNH)

    Never laughed as hard

    As hard as I did with you

    It hurt, it hurts more now

     

    Turn to me, I’m already there

    I took the hands off my clock

    So I could never know how

     

    How long

    I had left before the time to part ways came

    So strong

    Or so I thought I was in this funny old game

    How wrong

    Thinking, praying, wishing that I wasn’t right

    So long

    I’m going to miss you with all of my might

    Yeah, I’m going to miss you with all of my nights

     

    So sickly happy, we once were

    Seems strange that that can change

    And start wearing our smiles on our brows

     

    Turn to you, I wish I could

    You were always there anytime

    And if Time is a healer, then how

     

    How can

    It be responsible for destroying Us in the end?

    One man

    Is all I can be, but not the one that just wants to be a friend

    So I ran

    Tried to run away, but I was running with you all along

    Flawed plan

    You can’t be lost because I find you in my mind, heart and song

    Yeah, I miss you because you can’t be forgotten, no matter how long you’ve been gone

    Oooooh Arron I like this one a lot. I can hear a guitar strumming this out as it plays on the radio. I just love when a poem has such a melodious feel to it not to mention I've been there done that and I can so relate Excellent write :)

    I can almost play a tune in the background that will fit perfectly together with these lyrics. This is a well-written piece that can easily be sang by all of us who have, at one time or another, been there :) Great job!

    Thank you so much once again for taking the time to comment so kindly. Yes, I love poetry, first and foremost, but I am also a musician, so thought I'd post this song on here as a one off. It does have a very melodic, singalong tune actually, but maybe your version would be better! Thanks again!

    I could see this poem working as lyrics for a song. It has that kind of feel to it for me. I especially liked the "How long/How can" stanzas.

    Great minds... This one actually is a song I wrote. The stanzas you liked make up the chorus.

    Well then, there you have it.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
