Neva Romaine Poet Couplet

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

Great poem--A7 Neva Romaine October 26, 2015 at 2:36 PM 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

Lin Lane October 16, 2015 at 9:27 AM 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. Neva Romaine October 19, 2015 at 3:44 PM Hey Lin, thank you so much for finding a moment to visit with me and for your gracious comments and sharing your personal experience with me. We are so blessed to have survived the physical and emotional abuse - our Father has us wrapped in His loving arms. I am looking forward to visiting with you and enjoying your poems also sweet Lin. Be Blessed, Neva
