A Dark Point in Time - Poem 1020

At some point our paths crossed, Valentine’s Day 2020 at a stupid party all sanity was tossed. At one point you charmed me, Your boyish humour and warm eyes, Made me dive into insecurity and naivety. At some point I thought you were nice, But good boys don’t meet you after 10 And neither are they colder than ice. At one point you said I was too haunted, That someone trying too hard Was the last thing you wanted. At some point I found a different guy, And that’s when you realised You were too rash to say goodbye. At one point you crept in like a snake, Said that I was way too memorable And moved me like an earthquake At some point you ignored my NO Forced yourself and laughed, Like adults in a freak show. At one point I hated you, Hated your ignorance and denial, About what you put me through. At some point I forgot you existed, It took months of therapy, But I finally felt free and lifted.

Dear Sue, I didn't quite get the title 1020? I would of thought you might have considered naming it, "At some point". There are so many women out there who have had similar horrific experiences and I applaud your bravery in sharing this and the fact that you sought out professional help to get you thru it. God bless and stay strong

Hi Nancy, Thank you so much for reading my poem and for the kind words! It really means a lot. Honestly, I didn't know what to name it. I couldn't really think of a suitable title so I named it the date I wrote the poem. But in hindsight, a name would really help. Thank you and God bless you too!
