A few years back, country music superstars Blake Sheldon & Miranda Lambert were married to each other. For whatever reason, they decided to part ways. At that time, they were both at the top of the charts with nearly every song they put out, and truth be known, they both still seem to have a new song near the top of the charts several times every year.
Anyway, after hearing about their parting of ways, I wrote the following poem. It’s not really about them, but it was inspired by them…

WORN OUT LOVE
©By: R.L.King – From the book Memories & Time ©2017
They had a good run,
each hitting number one,
and each, winning many awards.
Artist of the year,
lots of fans to cheer,
and each, playing all of the cords.
They moved from the mountains,
to a lake with some fountains,
and a beautiful house on the shore.
Somebody cheated,
things got heated,
now they’re together no more.
Two successful careers,
leaving only time to cheer,
yet many opportunities to cheat.
Running so fast,
no way it could last,
many nights, dead on their feet.
Now single again,
many awards yet to win,
they’re singers without a song.
A soiled dove,
lovers no longer in love,
though it won’t be that way for long.
