I'M Better Off

To the person who promised "till death do us part" I want to start out by saying that although you didn't fulfill your promise to stay by me, I am better off than I would've been if you would've kept that promise. I trusted you, let my guard down, loved you with all of my being, and somehow in that trust, you managed to betray me. Not only did you leave, but you left so suddenly with no explanation, no respect, and no regard for the life and love we had shared for so many years. The disrespect and dishonesty, and the fact that you thought I wouldn't see through you after knowing you so well for so many years was hurtful and stupid of you. I have moved on and moved forward and have built a great life for myself. I have heard you aren't very happy, and I'm sorry to say that I don't care. I think you deserve the karma you are experiencing, and maybe you can be an advocate for the saying "the grass isn't always greener on the other side". You thought the lull in our 10 year marriage was unhappiness, but unhappiness is what you will know now that you've made a life altering decision for the both of us. I will never send you this, and I will never contact you, and will probably never see you again. I just hope that you know in your heart, and in your mind, and in the karma you are experiencing, that this is life now. You've made the decision for both of us, and now you will have to live with the consequences.

Ana, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
