Love has left this marriage, this house Taking with it my peace of mind Equilibrium shaken Identity robbed Feeling naked Leaving me maligned
The view of future obscured with dense fog I claw my way through not knowing where the path leads Sunlight intermittent Brief and encouraging Only to be snatched away From the remnants of tangled weeds
A cloud of black rain doused the fire in your heart The hatred left to fester slowly eating away at your core You are the victor of this battle Taking no prisoners and you now live alone with your ugliness for ever more
I have been writing poetry since I was a child and it has helped in the good times and bad times. I am always looking within to find the answers to life's problems and to write thought-provoking poetry and prose.
Thanks for checking it out.

WOW…”leaving me maligned” is powerful, and “leaving just tangled weeds”. And the final stanza, final lines…painful.
Very painful to read. Until I got to the end. And the courage and the relief that the other was finally seen for who they really are and beginning anew. At least that is how I read it. It is beautiful Christine. 🙂
