When a Woman Loves a Man

when a man says that he love a woman
what does he mean
when he says that without you he is nothing
is that really how it seems

how can a man say he wants you 	
and not touch you	
how can a man love you
and not care about your needs too

how do you know when to let go
and how do you know if a relationship is making you strong
when you get married no one tells you that you often feel alone
but they're quick to say don't give up on love just hold on

right now I feel so confused 
because, love has got me feeling so blue
often I think about having an affair
because he treat's me like I'm not here

should I stay so my child can have a family
and is it selfish of me to say I’m unhappy
is it wrong of me to give up on my marriage
and want to find comfort in another man

Marriage Should Be Looked Upon Within The Light As Lens Of Sacred, Although, This Is Quite Contrary Unto Sinful Fleshes Nature ? Yet If One Can Overcome Such An Enmity Of Both ` God As Spirit Then, Blessed Indeed Their Priceless Hearts And Long Live Love ~ Congratulations, Upon Your Beauty's Touching Verse Being Featured Here At Her PoetrySoup ~ Love, John

Hello Johnny Rhinem, I hope you are doing well. Please forgive me for my late response. Yes, marriage is sacred and should be for life especially for those of us whom believe in Jesus Christ, but unfortunately people don't always with God's will, but I am thankful for the gifts of healing and forgivesness.

I... I cannot say that I understand you because I am not at that chapter in my life yet, but I want you to know that this poem is great. I can sense the feelings in the poem, I would be the type to encourage you to stay, but you deserve to be happy, just like everyone else is entitled to. You should ask yourself if he's worth it, because parents effect their children and he might not positively influence your child. Sorry, I'm rambling on, haha, great poem! :) I wish you happiness and good luck.

Hello Shaz, I hope you are doing well. Please forgive me for my late response, divorce is so devastating and painful, but sometimes necessary.
