Never love a broken-hearted woman.

Never love a broken-hearted woman.

(April is poetry month. New poetry number seventeen.)

1- Was a sweet dream once. Prettiest gal I ever known.

Befriended me and I adored her. I didn’t learn yet.

Never love a broken-hearted woman.

A locked-up heart cannot be opened till she forgives herself.

A cold hearted can stay frozen till time steal the pain away.

2- You can share whiskey; you can share kisses.

You can dance till midnight with an unhappy woman.

Prettiest gal in Michigan told me. Johnnie, Johnnie.

I hate love. And I held my silence and I did a fool’s wish.

I tried to take apart her sadness and pain.

I left her on a warm September night with silence with a final gift.

I learn a broken-hearted lady cannot be loved no-more.

3- My daddy told me. Best remedy for a broken-heart.

Get a new woman. Get a better one.

He was right and I tell the young folks.

Quit crying, learn from your mistakes.

Go slow and easy. Find someone who adored you.

Do not accept less, demand more.

John
