On-the-go poetry entry #4

Fall From Grace

Have you ever experienced heartbreak?

Of course you have

We're all no strangers to hurt

When love's at stake

We wear our heartache on our face

Smiles fade with time

When we've loved and lost

We've felt the fall from grace

And hey, alone ain't so bad

Because we know it won't last

We'll just watch the hours pass us by

And a few years of healing will jump up fast

Though, our happiness won't wait

We gotta' grab it when we have the chance

Unless it isn't meant to be, for that pain we must brace

Been there, done that

We've felt the fall from grace

And although this sounds like a country song

So sad and slow

I ain't much of a singer

That much we both know

I'm just tired of holding in

Just need this pain gone

They say the heart's the strongest muscle

But mama always told me that it was brains over brawn

And it won't be long now

We know things have come to pass

It's about time you put me out

And get over my sorry ass

And we'll both be back up and ready

Out there on our own

Taking love at our own pace

Because we've felt the fall from grace
