Betrayed

Woman weeping wondering why
Distraught she is betrayed
Faithless fellow flirtation foiled
Much to his dismay.

Revulsion, Retribution, Revenge
Feelings so abhorrent to her life
Lying, Licentious lecher
Has disillusioned faithful wife

Adoring , Absolute adoration
The sun shone from his eyes
How hard he has hit her
With his philandering and lies.

Beast , Betrayer , Bastard
The thoughts she has of him now
Pathetic perpetrator pleading
Desperate to escape the row.

Marvellous marriage muddied
Her heart broken and in pain
Wonderful woman, Wronged ex wife
Vows never to weep again.

Excellent write. I love the way you have used alliteration in this to emphasize the destruction this can bring to a marriage. Thanks for sharing xx

The poem was based on the hurt I saw my sister going through , I'm delighted to tell you she is married again now to a very gentle man and they love each other to pieces.
