Wave After Wave of Reverses

Wave after wave of reverses Upon my life rained Although Bible verses My heart craned and strained To read To divert To knead To insert Into the dustbin of history Which in the pain served a cathartic purpose As in empathy and sympathy my story It did endorse To keep my bearing on an even keel Assuaging my pain Endeavouring to kill The despair I felt in the rain As the full horror Of the betrayal he committed In the context of the egregious error He admitted Into the love I felt he gave In full measure I could no longer save From the ephemeral pleasure I felt he pretended unto me To offer Cos for once my way clear I could see in the blues sea Where I could no longer suffer As a doting wife Whom he took for granted To rain wave upon wave of strife Although I dare say for good reasons I sometimes ranted.
