Song of The Broken

Press play before reading. Salute.

(A lone voice sings)

 Sometimes

Life is so cruel 

And ain't no fun

And there is nothing more 

You could have done

But

If only 

I could have met you

When I was young

Carefree 

And always

On the run

You would be 

My only one

So I sing this song

In front of 

Everyone

When you wake 

Underneath

The midnight sun

Just know I care 

All said and done

And life's so cruel

Crushing love

Like a hit and run

Before anything 

Has begun

We could have had it all

We could have had it all

But

Sometimes

Life is so cruel 

Ain't no fun

And there is nothing more 

I could have done

If only 

I met you

While I was young

Carefree 

And always

On the run

You would now be 

My only one

And even now

As I look back 

On my life

In faded books

Underneath

This midnight sun

I know my end times

Has just begun

But Mon Cheri

Know this

After all these years

Together spiritually

You'll always still be 

My only one

It's just sometimes

True love 

Can be shot down

By Fates many 

Hidden guns
