Debbie Middaugh Poet Rhyme

Knots In the Chain

IT IS TOUGH TO FACE DEFEAT,
KNOWING I FAILED.
  MY PARTNER OF TEN YEARS,
UP AND BAILED.

  YOU CAN SEE THE PAIN,
ALL OVER MY FACE.
  I THOUGHT SHE HAD, 
FALLING FROM GRACE.

  FOR A LONG TIME, I BLAMED
EVERYONE ELSE.
  WHAT A SURPRISE, NONE OTHER
THEN HERSELF.

  I'M STUCK HERE PAYING
THE PRICE.
  SHE MOVED ON AND STARTED
A NEW LIFE.

  I'M HELPLESS AND HOPELESSLY
LOST.
  LOVING HER CAME WITH A
COST.

  I SIT AND REMINISCE IN THE
PAST.
  AT A LOVE I THOUGHT WOULD
LAST.

  THE FIRST TIME I SAW HER,
SUNSHINE ON A RAINY DAY.
  An ANGEL SENT FROM 
FAR, FAR AWAY.

  SO MANY MEMORIES,
SO MUCH I REMEMBER.
  IT FLOODS MY THOUGHTS,
INCREASES MY TEMPER.

  NO NEED FOR ME TO TRY AND
EXPLAIN.
  AN ANGEL THAT BRINGS MISERY AND
PAIN.

  TO LOVE A DEMON WHO COULD
NEVER BE TAME.
  TOO MANY KNOTS WITHIN 
THE CHAIN.
