The Grass Is Greener Through the Noose

Deep in the cave inside my heart Is the place you'll never be It's sealed and locked forever now Because you threw away the key You've stolen all my faith in life And my ability to love I have no big accomplishments Or accolades to be proud of Remember when we got ****-faced and went to New York City? You left your sweater in the cab and it got really chilly We barely caught the train back home You fell asleep in my arms You cuddled close and held my hand And drew me in with your charms But in your sleep, you called his name I should have figured by then But I was naive and stupid Because I trusted you again As much as I want to tell you What you really did to me, I can't because what comes to mind Are those sights I can't unsee And all the while you were seeing him As our "love" continued to grow I thought that this was all my fault But it was YOU I didn't know You left me for another man Wait, that's not exactly right It's more like I walked in on you Betraying my trust that night. So I'll be forced to live with this Well, not for very long I hope you get what you deserve Because you were in the wrong Nothing will matter anymore Not once I've tightened this noose Everything will fade into black And I'll be free from life's abuse 06/09/2016 - Tomas Vazquez

Epic write, Tomas,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Thank you Linda, that means a lot. I wish I was more active in these communities. I don't really have any poetic skills. It's just easier to get out how I feel in a poem, rather than actually speaking to someone.
