Heart Broken

She sheds them tears every day
As she clings to the cold blanket
Longing for one who isn't coming
Abandoned by the one she loved

The father of her two children
One who bought her goodies
One who was always kisses
One who was so adorable

Now her companion is heart break
As she pictures the tyrant she loved
Romping with another woman
She tries to repress feelings of hate

The betrayal slices like a knife
Through her tender heart
And no amount of consolation
Can save her from pain

With her friends she puts on a mask
Pretending that everything is fine
Men are dogs - an overused cliche
She wishes her man was back home

Sadness and suffering is displayed in your poem - unfulfilled anticipation and hope. Breakup is so depressing - well described.
