Anathi Nompondo Poet Blank verse

She Left Me For That Man, For What He Had

Why did you slave my heart
Slaved all these years 
At the end you slayed it it
And took away the trust 
 
You snitched my happiness 
Destroyed all the love I had 
For you gal 
You did all that for that....... 
For that man..... 
For what he had
I felt betrayed 

You left me on a date 
Did not even wait
For the next day
I felt like embarrassment 
Was smeared on garments 
I smelt terrible disappointment

You left me in tears for that....
Just for what he had
For that man 

My trust for love is stolen 
My heart is left ruptured 
Roughed into pulp
Got clutched on lungs 
So hard so fast
Left bruise 

Your carelessness disturbed
My breathing 
For that man for what he had
How am I gonna be normal again 
Have love again 
Live the life I've always wanted 
Love wise 

Just when I was 
A step away
From realm of love
You stopped the display 
Of that environment 

I thought you were the one
To you layed all the trust and love 
Didn't know it was for the last 
To feel that 
Because of your lust
Not even for him 
It was not even for real 
 
You left me for that man for what he had 
You left on our date 
How sad 

I felt weakness in my bones 
It was not like not anymore 
Strong 
During that I couldn't be strong 
I tried to maintain control 
Over myself 
I just couldn't do it right 

I blamed and again and I blamed 
I blamed the next person
Everyone. ..
I was Clueless 
Atmosphere remained quite 
Environment tolerant
They understand 

Never thought this love can end 
I suspected curse 
It was all because she left me 
For what? 
That man for what he had 

People never love and think love can never end
Iam  not making anyone afraid to love 
But to never forget to love yourself
As well 

I hope you didn't enjoy this poem
Only 
But heard what it has to say

She left me for that man for what he had

Barbara Barry-Nishanian January 27, 2018 at 7:05 PM Emotions clearly felt, blame shifted etc. In the end... She did this person a favor to free him to find love in ashes. If pain is real...more emotions hope flow from this pen again.
