I'll Cry No More For You

Seems long ago - a distant time, at first when I saw you My heart did leap within my chest; was love to spring anew? I should have known, I couldn't see, enthralled I was with you The guard that was upon my heart had lifted and withdrew When from the start our passion flowed - so intimate were we We'll stand a test of time and stay as close as two can be Long walks beneath the twilight skies and joyous times we shared We spoke of secrets buried deep and still our passion flared Betrayal! sudden and complete - a knife has pierced my heart! Your other "lover" on the phone?!? You Cheater!! It's time to part!! Oh ache, oh heartache go away; sweet sleep, please come to me These tears, these rolling tears must stop - I need to be set free! How sad it is when love runs cold; Loves' flames die down and wane The mind is filled with memories; the heart is wracked with pain Too long I've felt this emptiness in finding you untrue And though I'm filled with sadness now - I'll cry no more for you

"Betrayal! sudden and complete - a knife has pierced my heart! Your other "lover" on the phone?!? You Cheater!! It's time to part! Oh ache, oh heartache go away; sweet sleep, please come to me These tears, these rolling tears must stop - I need to be set free" And that is exactly how it feels be the betrayed victim male or female! Great poem--A7

Hey Robert, thank you so very much for your visit and for your keen insight into my poem. Most especially for the reminder that males also experience these deep and hurtful feelings of betrayal too! Be Blessed, Neva

I feel your pain. Thanks for suggesting I read this one. Betrayal comes in many forms. My husband betrayed me for vodka. It sounds ludicrous, but the hold it had on him overshadowed all else in his life. Score one for Satan... A broken hand was my decision-maker. That was 4 years ago, and it took me a while to set my heart free and for the tears to stop flowing, but like you, I cry no more for him.
