The Haunting

You used and abused me hung me out to dry, You kept telling me you love me but that was just a lie. You fake the funk but then you never have lost at this game, You are number one star on the betrayal walk of fame. The first impression you appear sweet and naïve, It took some time to realize I've been deceived. I did not feel the steel was not prepared for the attack, The woman I love gone leaves me crippled and lying on my back. I lay there in a helpless heap scared and alone, How did I get here and how do I get back home. You’re a coward won't look me in the eye, I thought different so I gave it a try. A cold blooded serpent woman stared back at me, No recognition of who I might be. Nothing familiar was in that stare, I still can't believe what I saw there. I will never shake that image from my mind, It will Haunt me until the end of time. TURBO1904 2021

- very poignant poem - love how this poem shows the impact and impression left behind after one is deceived in a relationship I assume - love how you explore vulnerability but do not let it consume you

Thank you. One hell of a lesson learned. Ten years together. Just like that over. It has been almost three years since that day. Life is good today. I'm good today. Thanks again, Turbo1904
