We saw the world that we could make
dreamed a life for our own sake
held a hope it would come to be
but I couldn't have known what she'd do to me
Take my soul and bury it deep
cauterise the wound so it can't seep
and leave me to my own disgrace
of having my trust completely misplaced
To another her heart was given away
and in our home did they lay
the sanctuary for our matrimony
Far from the truth they did show me
It was all my doing she did claim
all my love she found quite lame
I will always be fond of my Lydia
But now I don't regret giving her chlamydia

A poem of unrequited love with a twist at the end. A fun read
Appreciate the read Soren. Thank you
A cracking poem. Reminded me of John Cooper Clarke. Nicely done.
Thanks for the kind words Tom.
