Mistreated By the One I Love

She was the love of my life But was never much of a wife Which caused a whole lot of strife Her hatred cut through my heart like a surgical knife Once full of life now praying for a change in life The love faded as the hate invaded My thoughts persuaded while my presence was degraded Always making me feel like you downgraded All along my soul forever shaded
Wishing I knew the reason I was hated Or why the feelings were abated Dreaming of the day that I will be extricated We were definitely mismated What a fool as I stand here life deflated Can only hope it will be mended Its always myself I'm defending Time to stop pretending No more room for bending The unrelenting ending is impending

Hello Jeremy this is a tragic write. So sad. Drop it, leave it, let it go! My dead husband cheated on me. That was a big hurt. So I am healing now. I live by these words. I feel your pain.A 7.

Such a sad reality..when there is a bully in the house..who can make the other half believe.that they are the better ones..and He is always the loser...Sad reality..A reality..one should escape.though its easier said than done..especially if kids are involved.This poem..gives me a pain in the heart..Can feel it deep.
