Let Down Again

She sits and ponders
In the summer shade
Wondering on
Decisions she's made

To turn away
Her man, her life
No longer her wish
To be his wife

Under the greened leafed tree
In her silky dress
Thinking back on her past
Her life a mess

Let down so much
By the man she loved
No longer the couple
Like a hand in a glove

Decision made
She's on her way
This girl stays single
No marriage today

This story from one poem to another keeps the reader wanting to read whats next--if he let her down than there's no one to blame except himself,anyway its always men who play the Baddo-kidding James-;)he should win here heart back...maybe in the next poem...you should write a book my friend,great romantic write--charma

This is so sad, James. Sometimes we "turn away" even though there is nowhere to turn to. If this is a true story, I can only hope the woman in this poem finds love again. Life seems so empty without it. Beautiful words! Love, Carolyn
