In Black And Broken Hearted Poem by dino evans

Do I look unwell?? ?..?
I am, ? ?though mostly in my mind
The years have passed too quickly, ? ?
and love has been unkind
Clouded are my memories, ? ?some faded with the time
Places, and some faces, ? ?forgotten now I find

Gone? ?are those who knew me, ? ?in golden days gone by
It saddens me to think about the love I knew as mine
Sweet she was to me, ? ?and so I drank it in like wine
Though torn apart, ? ?my broken heart, ? ?it leaves me cold and I

I see the frost that forms upon my feelings now and then
And wonder if my? ?old and weathered soul will ever win
Or lose the strength to carry on, ? ?because of what has been
I've spent the years, ? ?in pain and tears, ? ?not to be loved again

And so it goes for such a man, ? ?that I'm the one who cries
Darkness overwhelms me in the midst of sunny skies
Left to wonder how this all can be, ? ?to reason why
Shattered, ? ?torn and tattered, ? ?after all the cruel goodbyes

The tears I cry continue, ? ?to the loneliness that started
When alone I visit solemn site, ? ?the loved and dear departed
Memories that come to me, ? ?so closely held, ? ?and guarded
That now I stand, ? ?so forlorn and, ? ?in black, ? ?and broken hearted....
