Hello, My Poetry and Writing Friends! 🙂

`
Hello, my poetry and writing friends! How are you? I hope you are well! Thank you for visiting my blog. I appreciate you being here!
`
Today’s poem is a blast from the past.
`
During my first marriage, I was betrayed in the worst way. Thinking back on it still gets under my skin sometimes because I was sooooo clueless! I did not see the disaster coming and have learned since.
`
Everything happened for a reason, and I am sure it somehow made me who I am today.

Betrayal From the Past
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
`
Betrayal, From the Past
Sometimes you become your pain
`
promises broken
unawareness
trusting in vows that were spoken
words were precious
`
looking down at the floor
alarms in my head
my stomach inside my toes
there’s fire in my breath
`
wondering which parts of the story are real
it’s impossible to think straight
I don’t know how to feel
`
kind of like the sense of grief
you feel when someone dies
but we are both still sitting here,
and I can’t find a tear to cry
`
wondering back
to the past
in your mind
did you know
it wouldn’t last
did you plan
my demise?
`
so many years
wasted and torn
I should have left sooner
and never returned
`
my heart bears the scars
`
the pieces of me that survived
are a pile on the floor
it’s easier to block out the world
than to sit with myself and admit
that my life could become so much more
`
it’s an anxious cycle that exhausts me
and for now, I don’t want to think about it anymore
`
`
`
Thankfully, I got out of the situation and am no longer controlled or abused by anyone.
`
Sometimes I wonder if he regrets how he treated me.
`
I hope never to experience anything like what I went through back then. I will not allow myself to be treated like that ever again!
`
~Thanks for reading, and until next time, stay safe, and be blessed!~ 🙂
