I read your lyrics aloud a few times and thought to hear the music. Very well done. I hope this is just a song and the words are not true...
Thank you for sharing.

Very well done. I am all for not having a set rhyme scheme. I say let the rhymes flow were they may. Free verse fits more for lyrics, anyway. I think some writers get too hung up on technique, whereas I believe the content to be more important.
A very poignant and heartfelt piece. Thank you for sharing your feelings and thoughts about romance.

Peace, Jesse James

    Glad you enjoyed these lyrics. Free Style is the only way to write them, as far as I am concerned. Your comments and support appreciated.

    I am glad to be supportive of the writing of lyrics. I used to write and perform lyrics and music for a few different rock bands when I was younger. The experience has helped me with my writing of Free Verse poetry.

Okay, I was about to comment on the changing rhyme scheme and meter.

I guess there's no point in doing that.
This is posted as poetry, and romantic it is; however when a poet tells me at the end of the poem that in fact it's meant to be a song -- well, I'm at a loss. I can't hear your music, Brett.

To me, this is a poem.
The rhymes are very good even though you change up the scheme for the last verse.

How is it that when men mess around, it's expected that a woman will overlook it?
How is it that when a woman messes around and gets caught, she's history?
Don't answer that, lol.

I love free verse the best because you can say just what you want to with no rhyming constraints
This song is a great country song...
Why do something so stupid as cheat?
God bless

Very good rhyming song lyrics, Brett.

I assume last stanza would be the repeating chorus (say three times in all) with more stanzas surrounding it each time.

Nice one.

Best wishes, Ray

This is the second lightning strike running i have reviewed today. Well you seem to have done it this time. She's gone. And I don't reckon she's coming back, not in this song anyway. Breaking up makes for far more drama in a song. if you look at the english folk tradition and C& W together it really is mostly gloomy stuff - but great songs.

You're the guy that writes those generic reviews I see on my works and those of my friends...
Shame on you.
You and those like you are the reason I'm leaving this site. You just throw out a plain copy of just enough syllables to gain fan dollars to gain status and speard your own glory.
You aren't a writer...you're a poser.

    Your accusations do not merit a response.

Well written. The flow and rhyme pattern made it easy to read. As you have written, choices are made and we have to live with the consequences. Unfortunately, those choices are often a direct reflection of selfish desires.

I like the angle this of approach here. The perpetrator's thought process is a valid one with the acknowledgement of wrong doing for what its worth...and that worth? Nothing at all, perhaps curiosity the answer. Yet! The end is inevitable.
Nicely done.
Have a great Sunday.

I'll be here if you need me. I just wanted you to know
Love is like a candle we can warm up in its glow

But, it's too late to say I'm sorry
It's too much to ask you to stay
I can see the dark clouds forming
This is where you walk away


Oh, dear - betrayal - heart-breaking to find the one who holds your heart in another's arms. Not easy to forget.

Albeit a rather melancholy song, it's well written -
to be sung in country-style, I presume.

Margaret
