Tammy, although this was written in lieu of an ex boyfriend that failed to keep promise after promise... it could apply to ANYONE who fails to keep them (husband or otherwise)... well, except for the hurried sex part. LOL.
It was partially my fault for believing. What's that old saying... Happens once, shame on you... happens twice shame on me.... or something like that. Well, who's fault is it after 5, 10, and more broken promises? All mine! I stubbornly refused to see reality, and for that... it bit me in the BUTT!
My husband and I did split for a few years, but a couple years back we decided to try and make it work. I don't know how successful we'll be this time 'round... but in the end, nobody will be able to say I didn't try... ya know?
Hugs, girl... and hang in there. I'm glad things are better between you and your husband. If you ever need to talk... I'm here!
Aunt BJ... really? WOw... it's so WAY COOL when you like something I've done. (Happy dance!) Yeah, ok... my neighbors are wondering now cuz I'm sure they saw me just do that happy dance for real! LOL. Hugs and MUCH love!!!!
Anthony, Hee Hee... fun with my paiN? Wow, never looked at it like that. But I do laugh at myself... cuz otherwise everyone else would be laughing AT me instead of WITH me... yes? (Grin) And yes, I am with my husband of 17 years almost now... wow. time flies! And yes, the one this was written for is LONG GONE... yay! I can't take that kind of heartache anymore... not at my age. It was beaten up too badly when I was younger. Time for a break (errr... that was a bad phrase to use... time for a rest! Yeah, that's better! LOL)
I really, really, really, liked this one Mary. I have felt the same way about my husband a time or two. When he cheated on me I couldn't look at him and this is almost exactly how I felt.
You have put this into words so beautifully. I don't believe I would have done it so well.
I'm glad that you and him are not together anymore if this is the way you felt. Things are better between my husband and I and it's because of beautiful poetry like this.... well it helps anyway. Thanks for the great write! Tammy F.
I like this a lot. I especially like the imagery you created. "Peel my sanity like onion skin" is a favorite. But " A sucker on the sticky end of the stick ... I can't believe I let you lick me" is very cool!
Just another quicky comment. You have fun with your pain and that shows that you are comming around. Keep on comming and I am sure you will find someone that charishes your time! ( oops forgot this was a long time ago and you already found that special guy! See I was right! I'll take credit...told ya so!!!!) Anthony
Thank you. Everyone that knows me in real life would never believe that I ever write or say or even feel anything less than perfect and completely happy.
But, I'm human too and have had my fair share of broken hearts, you know? The last one I had was a doosey and I should never had gotten in the relationship in the first place. It started out wrong, how could it ever end right?
I'm sooooo glad that I have my faith in God and with his help I'm making all the right decisions now. Things have a MUCH better chance of turning out right when they at least begin that way, you know? Now I have a loving husband and two healthy boys and a happy life. Yay!!! Thank God - literally!
Anyway, thank you for reading, rating, and most of all commenting. (If you're interested in finding out the latest about my Mom - she's been ill - I've been writing my friends and family letters to keep them updated and then posting them here in my stories section. We've finally got some good news.)
Hey folks, thanks for reading and commenting. It's a true story, as always. And I was talking to a man, go figure. Not myself, CLB. I only meant with the last line that all that's left of him is a faded memory. A memory of what I thought he was or could be, or what WE could be together...but wasn't/won't be. It's only a memory, and it only vaguely resembles him. It's not really like who is really is, or he'd really be there with me in my life. You know who it's about, CLB. But it's an older poem... not really. LOL. But old enough. Funny how quickly things turn around. I wrote this after a night of a great misunderstanding. Kinda like that song where the guy was all upset he saw his gal and another guy as silhouettes in the window... only to find out he was at the wrong house. Yeah, something like that. LOL. He was NOT supposed to be at HER place, and I saw him there... turns out he was babysitting, and left immediately after her return with no hanky panky. Jealousy is a poisonous fruit, eh?
Welcome !
