The Other Woman

Who is she?
You claim you love her..
You have thrown away..
Years of our love..

A love that was so true..
Connection was intense..
We were one..

You were my soulmate..
So I believed..
I still hunger for you..
You have poisoned me with your deception..
You have poisoned me with your lies..
I still hunger for you..
You have departed from me..
A departure you so much desired..
As you have found the other woman to love..
Departure and all
I still hunger for you..
Nights are consitsted of hurtful pain..
Endless they seem..
Time almost seems to stand still..
A woman with open wounds I am..
Frozen in time..
I have spilled my blood..
I have shed my tears..
A water fall of tears..

Though the nights are long..
Though the nights seem never ending..
The sun does rise..
It is a new day..

You chose the other woman..
I choose to heal my wounds.. 
My entire state of being..

I understand every line. Have been there many times. You express it well. Use your pain to create more beauty with your pen. You will be surprised at the depth of feeling. Best of everything to you. Sian

I can feel the angst in this emotional and heartfelt poem. I especially like the turn at the end, and I felt the power shift.

All poets bleed, it's a form of therapy and processing internal emotions through creativity. Through creativity you can claim back your personal power and in a sense 'true' identity. I wouldn't waste any more time on this miscreant, concentrate on you and reclaiming who you really are...from what I am reading in your pages, you are someone shining a very bright light within...keep writing who you really are Robertina.
