Heartbreak
She said she would come.
I waited all day long.
I should have known better.
It’s the same, familiar song.
Gee, I know I told you
I’d be at your place by noon,
But life got in the way
And night came way too soon.
You said you would come
After he took a nap.
I waited all afternoon –
Played Scrabble in the gap.
I let you know you hurt me,
I counted on seeing you three.
I waited for you all afternoon.
You could have texted me.
My heart is really hurting.
I have a great-grandson near.
But I rarely see him.
I wish she’d bring him here.
I had a “Grandma Corner”
Full of books and games and toys.
It was the perfect corner
For little girls and boys.
But since you rarely come here,
I gave it to a friend
Whose grandkids are here visiting.
When will this heartbreak end?
