this is an old song I wrote many years ago and thought I'd do a little rewrite on...

If Hearts Weren’t Meant

By:Fee

If hearts weren’t meant to be broken

Why have we cried so many tears

Enough to fill a mountain lake

If we look back through the years

If hearts weren’t meant to be broken

Why were so many letters mailed

Dear John or Jane I’m sorry but

I think that our sweet magic failed

If hearts weren’t meant to be broken

Why are there those sad country songs

The lyrics of the common people

With so many he done me wrongs

If hearts weren’t meant to be broken

Why are the divorce rates so very high

Promised vows of happy forever after

Dissolve in the fog of a cheater’s lie

If hearts weren’t meant to be broken

Then why does this old heart ache so

If hearts weren’t meant to be broken

Then why did you say I have to go…

It seems like the human condition is that the heart is meant to be broken...sad as this is...and we learn (or should) as we progress...
The sadness is kind of reassuring in a 'we're all in this together' kind of way..

Love, Diana

This song speaks of many!
Your poem speaks loudly!
Such sadness conveyed but we must believe different, as we learn
from many mistakes! or could be expectations!
Love this poem Sweet Fee!

Perfect tone for a country song. How true, too! I was just reading an old diary of mine. Had to sigh over how many times I thought I'd had a broken heart. Course, I really didn't know love from a crush back then! This song reminds me of those heartbroken entries of mine. Nicely penned, Fee.

Broken hearts, a song to be sing softly around a campfire when just words failed to say it.
Put a melody and sing it to us!

You are right. If it was not for broken hearts, Nashville would still be a hick-town, and Kleenex would be a little mom-n-pop company. You have really captured the mood of this one, Fee.

Well Fee I am a Country gal as you know and I don't think hearts are meant to be broken, they are broken because we jump to fast at false love, you see it always works out when we have the right partner. I think this is a great write from a great country guy. Thank you for sharing.

Love ya face Cuz XOXOXO, Rose
