Remember folks....you heard it here first.  Country music radio stand by.

Cold Pizza and Heartache

Cold pizza and heartache,
That’s all that’s left of you.
I can’t drive past a Dominoe’s,
Cause it only makes me blue.
I used to be so happy,
When our love was true.
Now, cold pizza and heartache,
Is all that’s left of you.

I sit here, alone each night,
And stare at my litttered floor.
It’s filled with pizza boxes,
Left over from the night before.
I loved you and pepperoni,
And I thought you loved me too,
Now, cold pizza and heartache,
Is all that’s left of you.

So I’m eating cold pizza and heartache,
I’ve gained a hundred pounds.
I don’t have call in orders any more,
They just bring’em when making their rounds.
It’s the only thing I have left to love,
Six toppings and a cheesy goo,
Now, cold pizza and heartache,
Is all that’s left of you.

Being from West Virginia, I can really appreciate the "twang" in those lyrics.
Thanks for making me giggle!

Jeremiah....I don't like country music either...especially this kind.  But my mind has a mind of it's own sometimes....and this is what pops out.  I'm sure you can understand that.  Thanks....Hardrock

And my dog ran away, and my truck broke down...
Very cute, but serious stuff underneath. Haven't we all sat alone eating cold pizza and missing someone?

Sad but tongue in cheek, Marvin. Brilliant as usual. Funny how a bit of humour can highlight sorrow.
PS this sounds like a song!

I saw a T-shirt this weekend that said,
"The fastest way to a womans heart is through her ribs."
With pizza. haha ok I'm having fun to.
Because I had pizza last night and the night before and the night before, etc,etc.

I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

What to do with minds that have minds of their own, huh?   I enjoyed this as a poem, but if I ever heard it as a country song I'd have to turn it off. Lol!

I don't feel so bad about the one I wrote now. Of course I don't have the courage to post it here...lol
Actually that would probably get air time, if it has a catchy tune. Just add a good hook for the refrain.
