OF A BROKEN HOME, IT IS!
Of a broken home, it is
that happiness has absconded
that love, once were
that love, never is again
that what fascinates the heart become strange.
Faces become strangers and the heart becomes helpless.
Of a broken home, it is
that a child wakes up with pain in the heart
that there is a chattered dream
that there is divided love shown to him
Waking up to the call of life
He is reminded of the lost bond.
It is a burden in the heart,
As a child he wonders,
It was sweet from the start,
there was magic in every moment
and the stories of the heart melted.
Was it of lost or not properly made decision?
There had been a song
A song that a besotted lover has come to the door
The creation of union and later despair
Happily, the wheel of a new family is taken,
Couples filled with heartfelt joy, promises and oaths
There were promises that there will be devotion
A longing desire to be together
But time past, days have been and there’s lost in passion
What a turn the story has taken
What a change in dare need
What a hole in the heart the once delighted union has brought
Of a broken home, it is
that as a child he is left to face the world alone
that as a child, he feels not, the love of having parents
that choices are hard but made alone
that as a child he asks if there is need for marriage in the first place.
