I want to know <br />where do the broken-hearted go <br />so I go there and live my life so. <br />We were happy and in love, <br />but someone else enticed her away. <br />I got home one day and she was gone. <br />She had left me for another <br />with no reason why. <br />Now I want to know <br />where do the broken-hearted go <br />and I will join them there. <br />Elvis once sang of the heartbreak hotel. <br />I wonder if it is still open, <br />if it is I will join the broken hearted there. <br />There is no way I can get her back <br />for I don’t know where she is, <br />only that she is gone <br />and my life is a total wreck. <br />The ghost of her presence <br />still lingers everywhere. <br />Now I need so desperately to know, <br />where do the broken-hearted go. <br /> <br /> <br />23 November 2008<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/where-do-the-broken-hearted-go/
