Wasted Time
All the years spent together,
now dust, meaningless and gone
How in the world am I supposed to
start anew or continue on
I didn't expect to be hurt so maliciously
especially after what my first husband did to me
Doom and gloom over this life
I truly thought was over
the day we became a couple
but alas I was just fooling myself
I overlooked all the little betrayals
and disrespect, then held on to the hopes
of what would love bring me next
Bits of happiness seem to keep me hanging on
to a delusion that our love was ever strong
Such a fool was I to believe again
in someone who would crush me in the end
Support across the board seemed difficult and too much
only when it mattered to you did I receive that loving touch
You too selfish and me too selfless has put us in this condition
No longer under your valence no longer needing permission
Heartaches, mind reels and body feels numb
So it is I must continue life, no longer with a bum
