She knew
So many nights she’d spent alone,
not knowing where he’d gone,
wondering if he was coming home,
hoping she was wrong
But in her heart she knew,
his heart was somewhere else
So many days she hid her tears,
pretended she was fine,
she tried to hide her fears
she ignored every sign
But in her heart she knew
his heart was somewhere else
When she could take no more,
couldn’t pretend to believe,
she was waiting at the door,
told him to pack and leave
But in her heart she always knew,
his heart was already gone
OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual
"bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of
interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny
story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing
events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human
experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed
down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local
communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When
you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better
understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better
understand ourselves.
