6-4-09 A Broken Man
Scottie Allman© 2009

Pain has steadily broken me down
As day by day I go on
Another part of me falls away.

Pain has a way of making change
In profound ways
Wounds leave scars along the way.

The scars upon my heart
Still carry with them
A dull ache that throbs with my pulse.

I’m reminded of our pain
In everything I see
The world is a constant reminder of life without her.

The ring she slipped onto my hand
Is its own reminder
Of the gift that is at stake.

To wear it reminds me all day long
Her love is no longer here,
Not to wear it feels the same and makes me want her more.

The ring I have
Was a precious gift
A token of her love
I wear her band upon my hand
And her love within my heart
