Loyalty To My Ex

You love him, you want him
He doesn’t want you
You’ve had no one for so long
just the person that you knew
He’s stuck in your head
Glued to your mind
Friends say forget him
There’s new guys to find

The loyalty shown,
You never did cheat,
His love was enough
For you to retreat
You thought you were comfortable 
the relationship shared
Was so pure with love 
That you wasn’t aware

The evil, the nasty
He was drifting from you
The sweet caring person, that you thought that you knew
Was gone, what was left?
Just a stranger behind
His love had run out, the truth could not hide
You try to move on,
but there’s no way you could
You feel nothing but empty
where true love once stood.

With genders reversed, I too, can relate. You put everything into a relationship and then you hit the iceberg and visions of the Titanic flash in your head.

Hello Rosie Hill, I understand this poem so well. I was married for 4years onthe 4th year we went to Cuba and it was there that he cheated on me. Not on the second week we were there the 2nd day, For two hours in her bedroom. He came out head hanging low, she was very cheerful. So i do understand your poem.

I totally agree, so therapeutic- I almost feel like I’m cleansing my soul of any emotion I’ve ever felt by putting it into words as a poem. I’ve never found a better way to deal with my feelings. Thankyou, I’m glad you’ve enjoyed reading it
