No Honour

You are selfish to the core It is about you and nothing more She loved you untold From her heart of precious gold She gave and you snatched For you there was no looking back It was me who eased her pain Time and time again She loved you wholeheartedly Only in death was her disappointment freed That filled my being with sorrow As now there is no tomorrow Sadly, I am indifferent to you l resign I do not honour you in this lifetime When you take your last breath I will not honour you in death

Honor is for those that deserve honor because they've done honorable things in life. I like the message of your poem on honor Deb. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill

Hi Deb, karma has a wonderful but sometimes cruel way of settling scores with those that have wronged us , in time to come his dreams will be invaded by guilt , well here's hoping . Lovely touching poem . Daniel

Some people are destined to make us appreciate those we can truly love, and yet everyone is broken in some way. A sobering poem to remind us to shake the dust off our feet, Deb.

Some are just selfish, some are narcissistic, either way to be avoided at all costs, there are many among us here sadly, the irony in that amazes me, beautiful poem!

If 'he' were a judge, I'd say 'Hello Your Dishonor.' That'd 'serve' him right. Pun intended. ~ gw

The poem was a good scolding. The narcissist will move on to another victim, and of course, blame you. I'm glad you exposed this dangerous type.

Some people are selfish, they don't respect sincere love. They don't deserve appreciation in living life. Well penned.

I hope you wrote this piece from a point of observation and not one of participation.... I'd hate to think your sweet spirit suffered the pain.... yet.... is that not where so many of our best works come from ? You seem to have a way of connecting the reader, including me to yourself through your words, rhythm, and measure. The subject matter you write comfortably within in is expansive.

Darrell….that is one of the nicest comments l have ever received about my poetry….l thankyou from the bottom of my heart. I think we talk the same language my friend!! I wrote this from a point of participation unfortunately….but such is life….we all have or have had selfish people in our lives. I am so glad you are more present on Poetry Soup atm…l really enjoy your poetry! Thankyou…Debx
