Crying In The Dark

She sat in an unlit room,
as tears flowed from her eyes,
her heart broken in pieces,
not knowing the reason why.

She thought she found true love,
when she was barely fifteen,
she met this boy in high school,
the cutest guy she had ever seen.

They decided after graduation day,
they would start a brand new life,
her heart was full of happiness,
vows were taken to became his wife.

The first four years were happy,
full of excitement and joy,
they decided to start a family,
first a girl then a little boy.

They were happy for a few years,
then he started acting strange,
he was not the man she had married,
his love for her had changed.

So many nights left all alone,
she would cry herself to sleep,
each day as a new day dawned,
she would hold her head and weep.

For years she lived in loneliness,
because she loved him so,
she still remembered the man he was,
when they met ten years ago.

She gave him all the love she had,
he always wanted more,
each day her heart was breaking,
she could not take it anymore.

She took the kids and left her town ,
and hoped all her heartache was gone
but forgot to leave her broken heart,
she still cries in an unlit room alone.
