Poem
“Lucky you” they say Life can surely never be dull with A woman like her Intelligent to the core Discussing, debating, all knowledgeable The wise old sage, the oracle The beauty they all lust The woman who stood next to me With my naivety, I trust Inside her head, they could not see Nor the wounds inflicted upon me Her harsh words and even harder fist That smashed against my face That very angry place Her frustration and humiliation A common punch bag I’d become Now placed in this dangerous world From where there seemed no escape Because I tried so hard to heal So hard to understand and sympathize The thousand “sorry’s” The thousand tears Still my love, held no fears And so on and on for many years Then a moment came A breakthrough of enlightenment If you will, No more! No longer can I approve Of the cheating, the verbal attacks The twisting of my mind. Controlled by her words, tricking me from my sanity And slowly came the strength, and wearily it grew Deserving of so much more, I packed all up and flew... Does it make me angry? Does it break my heart? I guess this path I’d chosen From the very start I’m angry that she wastes so much negative energy Instead of the creation that she could easily be My heart breaks that a human, with so much passion, spirit and soul Could hurt herself so fiercely Unable to escape that deep, dark hole. I’ve moved on from pain And discovered my path true And take with me the lessons Learnt from loving you.
