Standing on one side of the bridge <br />You on the other <br />Burned at both ends <br />of the times we spent with one another <br />As the bridge slowly crumbles apart <br />A melody starts to play <br />The Ballad of the Broken Heart <br /> <br />Reminscing of a secret love affair <br />Wallowing in the pits of despair <br />This isn't the ending <br />Its a brand new start <br />As a melody begins to play <br />The Ballad of the Broken Heart <br /> <br />For a wounded heart time does not heal <br />Only gives it a better conceal <br />In the beginning like a flower our love arose <br />To end this chapter <br />The book will close <br /> <br />From within, the music will start <br />Hail! Sing, sing aloud to the melody <br />The Ballad of the Broken Heart<br /><br />Carl Leiland<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ballad-of-the-broken-heart/
