Meaningless words were spoken with ease
from blasphemous lips content to deceive.
Words of commitment, adoration and trust,
insignificant words— revealed as unjust.
Well versed in deception with lies most “sincere,”
he eloquently said, “I’ll always love you dear.”
Emotional wounds gouge unfathomably deep.
Diminished in his absence, discarded, I weep.
He vowed fidelity, “until death do we part,”
but chose to wander, betraying my heart.
Indiscretion has shattered all of our plans;
devastation too painful to solely withstand.
Bittersweet memories dictate every thought;
emptiness defeats me, cast aside, thus forgot.
The bloom of youth withers; age maligns my face.
Heartfelt pleas ignored, he leaves me in disgrace.
Our time together ended, scorned by his misdeeds,
an unsuspecting fool, relinquished, my hope bleeds.
Enthralled by other women he revels in their flesh.
Held hostage by depression I wallow in its depths.
Shaken by reality my consciousness falls numb;
disowning those tomorrows I pray will never come.
Bereft of the affection sworn forever mine,
banished to oblivion, scars may heal in time.
Estranged, I wane in silence remembering yesterday;
certain he once loved me, uncertain why he strayed.
Unworthy of forgiveness he summons my disdain.
Averse to love another, I withdraw, scarcely sane.
Within this realm of misery my soul profoundly suffers.
Abandoned for the wanton bliss of his younger lovers.
