You sit alone
With a drink in your hand
In the darkest night
Not knowing where you stand
Is it over?
Is this really it?
Our relationship over after so many years
You sit imagining where he’s been
You should know being his love
It’s clear to see
He’s out with her the unknown other
You should really call her his lover
The one he brings harmony and peace
Holds in his arms
While your led in an empty bed with an ache in your heart
Feeling betrayed
Tears rolling down your face
Only the cold wisp covers to comfort and keep you safe

Thank you!!
Thanks SHANNON for very evocative poem. It happens and as we get older more than once ~ to Men as well as Ladies. My present GF Angela and I are safe ~ in and out of each others arms ! BUT when i saw a "lost love" in someone else's ARMS ~ my PAIN was the same as you describe in your poignant poem ! Its the SAD side of LOVE ~ Blessings ~ Big Hugs ~ BRIAN XX
Thank you for the comment! I'm glad you were able to relate
It is such a torment after the one you used to love and still love (maybe) turn away. The ache, the emptiness, the wonder get you choked. Time, let time heal the wounds.
The feeling is sad, the writing is beautiful.
I agree! thanks for the comment 🙂
So well written, and so powerfully emotional. While I am one of the lucky ones, through your incredible poem I can feel the loneliness, the rejection and hurt.
'The one he brings harmony and peace' but to you he brings pain and sorrow.
Great poem, Shannon!
Aww thank you!!
Sad and beautifuly done. I agree with Diamond. From the pain comes the joy after it subsides.
Thank you
Sad yet beautiful.
Thanks
Very good and very emotive write.
Thank you
That terrible feeling is betrayal indeed. Why don't people wak away before they fall into the arms of another rather than torment their belittled partner. The torment screams from your writing here. Excellent emotive work.
i agree! and thank you
Your poem is beautiful to read Shannon and I can feel the heartache, uncertainty and pain in your words. Am not sure if you are writing from your own personal experience, or of another.. but the words and feelings behind them here, are magic. Hope you're ok!
No thankfully the poem isn't from personal experience! And thank you
