Nacita Torres Poet Sonnet

Exhausted

Today once again we did not agree,
Utterances of emotional anger exchanged between you and me.
Once again the reason ‘why’ escapes logical thinking,
Drowning in confusion - sinking.
Flowage of streams attempts to come to my eyes,
I say to myself- You promised not to cry.

I feel that I am treated more like a stranger than your lover,
I observe the differences when you are entertained by another.
I regret allowing the grief of what you bring,
I am so depleted of you as I wear this ring.

I believe that my feelings you must devour,
When to your commands and will; I do not cower.
Once again you apologize as I look in your eyes and ponder the question, Can this be?
With tears in my eye I know that there is no more you and me.

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen May 23, 2009 at 3:23 AM Tunisia, sometimes pain enters our lives and brings us down. And many people, as described in your poem, put on a different face to non-family members. It's sad. Keep writing, God bless you. Always, Dane
