Enough Is Enough

Release me woman from this prison you have me in.  Fighting your love has been a 
battle I can't seem to win.  I catered to your every need.  Followed your lead, and you had 
me believe all was well.  You look me in the eye and kiss-and-tell.  Our love is far from 
parallel.  I was told you were spotted at a motel. You finally dropped that bombshell.  You 
nasty Jezebel.
 
       Am I a sucker?  A stupid motherf*%*%r?  I must be off my rocker to take you back.  
Or I've drunk too much cognac.  And like the war in Iraq;  I'm fighting desperately to save 
our family.  Slowly the effort is consuming all my energy.  It's difficult trying to rally us 
together.  Your actions convince me nothing lasts forever.
 
       I named you my Queen, you called me King.  Why do I have to be your puppet on a 
string?  You admit again you had another fling.  My Guardian Angel must have a broken 
wing.  What am I to do?  I know about your secret rendezvous.  You're breaking me into.  I 
just can't keep forgiving you.
 
       I gave up a professional career.  Gave you a love higher than the atmosphere.  Fed you 
platinum to cashmere.  Took your body even higher beyond the hemisphere.....But all this 
was done in vain.  You swept into my life like a hurricane.  You left an emotional blood stain, 
and now my heart is slain...........

Good to express it on paper and your rhyme is super and your story is sad but that is how life teaches us to be more careful and less trusting .. only trustworthy being .. Jesus ... HE never lets us down... good writing ... luv.. Linda-Marie, Poetess Extraodinaire' and Poetry Soup "Sweetheart"
