Say Goodbye To Regret

Often times I wonder
 what if we never met?
Would I have never suffered years 
of self hatred & regret?
Looking back should have known
Probably should have even heard
You hurt me so bad the feeling 
goes way beyond words
If 2 worlds never came together
 that Spring day
Leaving me with a pain that
 never really fully goes away
I trusted you perhaps I simply
 refused to SEE
Than you went made a 
complete FOOL out of ME
Was she worth it?  so
 full of envy & jealousy
Did you FORGET one minor detail 
that you HAD a FAMILY?
I TRUSTED you and gave
 you my whole heart
Slowly but surely your shallow 
LIES tore it apart
Thought I knew YOU why didnt I SEE?
What did she have that you
 picked HER over ME?
We took a vow I was yours  
you were suppose to be mine
Was she simply convenient  holeright place right time?
Cant believe how you could look me in the eyes
Should have listened to my gut
 instead of your LIES
YOU got the easy way out u got to die
 I was left to do my best & survive
I got to sit around self destruct 
all ALONE and just cry
OUR daughter almost 3 yrs old
 barely a month shy
Night after night her tiny voice
 asking me WHY Mommy WHY?
Where did Daddy go did he say bye bye?
Now FOREVER questioning eveything Men do or say
Possibly a blessing that fateful November day
Your lies torn down the 8 years that WE built
NO LONGER will I beat myself up with  the guilt
Now my life is HAPPY a wonderful Man I have  finally met
I have moved on forgiven you but shall never forget
Time to free myself and say goodbye to REGRET

what a story, we put so much power in a relationship and how easy it does harm us, like sharpening a blade only to have it cut. The good thing is blood regrows, we may have scars but that is the fuel for poetry like this. best wishes if this is a true write.
