I loved a young boy once,
Handsome and strong;
We were happily married,
But not for too long!


He's started to wander,
Keeps comming home late;
The vows that he made me
He wants to delete!


He says he still cares,
But I know that's not true.
I wish I had someone
Who'd say what to do!


I think I still love him,
I'm not really sure;
But I know he's not worthy
Of me anymore!!

Well, Rose, since you said you trust me, I guess I know what I look like!

Good evening English Rose,
I feel your distraugt, but happier times will prevail. Time passes, and with it, the heart mends. Been there English Rose, done that. Nice poem expressing your feelings.

I am at a loss over what you mean Balladeer..

English Rose, wonderful work. You have put into words, so well, what many of us have been through. Remember, the only one who can say what you should do, is you.
Hold your head high and take care,
Dee

Duh!!!!....of course I get it really....I trust you so that means you must be ugly right?...WRONG! I bet you are extremely attractive!!

Thanks to everyone on this one...this poem does go some way into being a real experience
but I don't hurt as much as it may seem by these words!...honest!

Seeing as I'm female, I guess I'm safe lol
I saw you explain  the situation to the others and although you expressed yourself superbly in the poem, I know that sometimes you can draw from distant experience.
A quietly powerful poem.
Thanks for letting us see it,
