I Wrote This Poem When I Was Cheated On Lol

am i the loser



ten years of anger 
ten years of pain

built up inside 
like a bucket of rain

ready to pour and let it all out 
ready to cuss, scream and just shout 

but when the day came all i did was go deaf 
all i could hear was my heart in my chest 

i seen your lips moving but there was no sound 
as i got up to walk i almost lost ground

but i made it to the door without shedding a tear 
because showing you one drop was something i feared

i told my kids i loved them and gave them kiss 
piled on more emotions wishing knowledge was bliss 

how could i explain to my kids that life is'nt fair 
how could i give a reason for why im not there

i blame you for ruining this family and another man's life
another man's child and another man's wife ;(

you cheat and you lie and you have no remorse 
and now youre happy with the way your life has taken it's course 

so you say he is going to leave her to hang out with you 
but how can you trust him when no one trusts you

Sad, but as they say, cheaters never stop cheating. Sounds as though your unseen troubles simply left to trouble someone else. Excellent write.
