A Humpty Dumpty Heart

Song lyrics that I tried to "put together."

        A Humpty Dumpty Heart


Now I got this heart that's broken
that just won't seem to heal
tried to put it back together
but it just ain't working still
been picking up the pieces
but I can't find all the parts
I guess that girl done left me 
with a humpty dumpty heart

Well she told me that she loved me
how our hearts would beat as one
so I gave my heart in earnest
wanting nothing in return
then she took my heart and broke it
should have seen it from the start
I guess that girl done left me
with a humpty dumpty heart

they say that if you break it
you must keep it that it's yours
you can't give back what's broken
got to pay for it for sure
'cause when a thing is broken
pieces end up on the floor
when you put 'em back together
they're never like they were before

they say home's where the heart is
and when the heart is full of love
love keeps the heart from breaking
thinking love's forever more
but when your heart's mistaken
then it's taken for a fall
I guess that girl done left me
with a humpty dumpty heart

now I got this heart's that broken
that just won't seem to heal
tried to put it back together
but it just ain't working still
been picking up the pieces
but I can't find all the parts
I guess that girl done left me
with a humpty dumpty heart


been picking up the pieces
but I can't find all the parts
I guess that girl done left me
with a humpty dumpty heart.

Better to love me in-laws and not have loved at all! I love this Poem Daniel! It reminds you how fragile the heart is! Peace!!!

I believe you got a winner. It seems to me that one Billy Ray Cyrus came out with a similar tune, called "Achy Breaky Heart," and it became a big hit. If you could get Miley Cyrus to sing this one, it would be a hit overnight! Come to think of it, it's a guy's song. But you could change her sex, it's a big thing these days.

Sadly, this is a perfect, honest write about two who were as one(not) and the carnage left within that "Humpty Dumpty Heart."

Michael, now that puts an image that is stuck in my head, a picture of Mother Goose laid back drinking that beer, that'll be for another song/poem. We could start a beer company, call it "Loose As A Goose" beer or "Mother Gooze Booze", ha!
Thanks for the comments yall.

"When you put 'em back together // they're never like they were before." Ain't that the truth. I like the rhythm of the poem, could be a song. Fine work here. Truth to itself. Maybe it's worth having a broken heart if it can produce a poem like this. John

This is like a country Mother Goose song. Now if I only had a beer to cry into.
