Cecilia Macfarlane Poet Quatrain

Freed

Through my eyes, he sees his true self
and is disgusted by what he sees
Citing vulgar obscenities one moment 
and then the next desperate pleas

He knows he is morally wrong
and that I could never forgive
He compromised my health!
Now with himself he has to live

Integrity he has not a ounce
Compulsive liar, I found out!
Was he born without a conscience?
To intentionally hurt, a heart he is without!

I'm glad that I found out what he's about
He would have sent me to an early grave
I know karma will one day find him
and he will get back all that he gave

My guardian angel guided me
Showed me what I failed to see
All my nagging doubts have been answered
I finally found the truth to set me free.

Sara Kendrick July 7, 2013 at 6:12 PM So many people out there that are like this both male and female..I don't see how they live with themselves..Great write about the topic and I hope that it is not your life now nor ever has been but just a work about the topic of people who seem to have no conscience...Thanks for stopping by.Sara Dominic Amezimi November 5, 2015 at 2:35 PM :)

Karen Anglesey July 5, 2013 at 10:30 PM WOW... What an alarming story. I'm fearful of the secrets that people hold when they know their choices could cause destruction. Epic truth here :)

Heather Ober June 25, 2013 at 1:18 PM I feel as if you are telling my own story! I knew someone just like this - a compulsive liar with absolutely no conscience. It was the first guy I ever loved, and man, was it ever hard to break free! You've done an excellent job of expressing feelings of betrayal, anger, and ultimately relief to be free of a scumbag who doesn't deserve you!!

Andrea Dietrich June 25, 2013 at 12:24 AM Hi, again, sweetie!! thanks for your comment!!

Richard Lamoureux June 24, 2013 at 11:59 PM One like him can know no remorse, he is a parasite.I am glad you escaped.

John Posey June 22, 2013 at 5:09 PM Surrendering to lust and forsaking love is very serious business. You had no other conclusion to draw... Congrats on both your victories.... Love and respect for your courage ..... Jake

Mario De Paz June 19, 2013 at 7:26 AM This is a true, sad story. But I am sure that after found freedom there will be room for trying to help the one who compromised your health, otherwise you cannot be completely happy!

Eileen Manassian June 18, 2013 at 11:51 PM Oh...so sorry you had to suffer abuse, my dear....to the point of your health being compromised...how terrible. Those who abuse often act out in the only way they know because thet have been abused themselves and carry baggage. They need professional help to alsi he set free. Since this is for a contest...can I point out a spelling mistake which often others correct me on???? I believe you meant conscience....knowing of right and wrong. Thanks for your visits to my work. They bring me joy!!!!

Andrea Dietrich June 18, 2013 at 11:18 PM I am SO glad you got a guardian angel to get you away from that monster. I remember stuff you told me from before. Good for you, sweetie and I really like how you made a story poem out of the experience. Should do well in the contest.
