Best Wifedark Poems


Waiting

You waited,
In the dark shadows of the green thing
Rocking back and forth to the beat of the seconds.
'Till I sensed nothing and wandered out
Rising to your opportunity.

With the strength of an celestial beast
You tore me to shreds
Deserted my destroyed carcass
In the middle of the Sahara
For the flies,
Buzzing around and surveying the damage.
“You’ll be fine”.

Marital collateral damage.

I waited
In the dry empty place
Praying for the breath to leave my lungs
And release me

And yet
Anxious fingers furiously scan the bottles
As I spread a generous helping of your perfume
On the sheets
And the pillows 
And the towels.
to lure you back through
tangible imagination.

Lying in the dark room
Collecting pieces of myself
On the fragrant sheets
I waited.

If She Only Knew

Her veil had become painted with dark misery
As once what was bliss, has now disappeared
The dreams with this man were faded and dreary
Her love turned quickly to hate and to fears

As once what was bliss, has now disappeared
His hands became weapons, stabbing at her heart
Her love turned quickly to hate and to fears
Now knowing from this life, she now must depart

His hands became weapons, stabbing at her heart
He was no longer the man she thought she had known
Now knowing from this life, she now must depart
She prays to find a life she can call her very own

He was no longer the man she thought she had known
The dreams with this man were faded and dreary
She prays to find a life she can call her very own
Her veil had become painted with dark misery
