Black Heart As Jagged Stones
Black Heart As Jagged Stones
You asked me to be kind
You asked me, humbly wait
Begged me to cheer, not mind
Your toying with my sad fate!
Your heart beats fast and hard
Your liver stays filled with bile
Love you cry is your best card
My life stolen, for a while.
Try to understand my dismay
My misery in your sour basket
You kiss to get your selfish way
I gave all when you asked it.
Your world, love is but rags
my heart, but crushed bones
Seen now, you a wicked hag
Black heart as jagged stones.
I shoe my feet, race and flee
Your grasp, a wicked hold
You words, poison in my tea
Stale bread with black mold.
You asked me to be kind
You asked me, humbly wait
You beg me cheer, not mind
Your toying with my sad fate!
R.J. Lindley
July 19th 1975
Old note( 1975) - You took my heart spliced and diced until it was in shreds
now you rather have drugs in your addicted head.
Wake up, a true love you'll find.
Release our marriage from this dark and tragic bind!
New Note- This Poem written when my life was in deep blues.
Describing her on drugs, turned from a truly loving and great lady, into a unreasonable and most wicked beast.
I could find no way to save the lady I so desperately loved(my first wife, addicted to drugs).
Now I look back, and wonder, should I have tried even harder after at least at least, a hundred failed attempts!
