have you ever felt so depressed that you wish your life would end <br />Since of late your wife has left you and gone to live with your ex best friend <br />Never thought that this could happen to you and you feel betrayed and let down <br />And you feel the saddest of the sad souls of your side of the Town. <br /> <br />Taken with her your primary school going son and daughter to a Town one hundred miles away <br />And you feel devastated that in their future that you will not have much say <br />You always loved your children and you loved their mother your ex wife <br />But she fell in love with your friend and such are the ways of life. <br /> <br />In the pub I met him last week he's not the man he used to be <br />He looks sad faced and dejected, quiet and full of misery <br />He used to be so cheerful always in a happy mood <br />He seems such a different person and in silence he now brood. <br /> <br />From the poets and the songwriters of undying love so much we hear <br />But the man forsaken by love sits alone and drinks his beer <br />Time of course will be his healer he won't always feel this way <br />Happiness again he will know and he will find new love one day. <br /> <br />Have you ever felt so depressed that suicide you did contemplate <br />Like the poor fellow that I know who lost his wife to his ex mate <br />But love is not all beauty and like the thorns that guard the rose <br />It can cause a festering heartache but that's life I do suppose.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/have-you-ever-felt-so-depressed/
