I Thought I Knew

Christina8

With careless and wild eyes

you unleashed a big surprise

You didn't love me anymore,

I thought I knew what love was

But surely I didn't cause

I wasn't the one that you adored.

My mom cried more that I did

As I was the one that you got rid

Leaving permanent emotional burns,

You used me for my looks

Grasped in with your hooks

And yet for you I yearned.

You were just a bump in the road

To catch my prince I kissed a toad

I'm so grateful you set me free,

I know you're still alone now

Karma works that way somehow

But now I have my own family

          Glad you liked this poem....my muse took me there after reading a poem where one felt used. I thought, I'm glad I was let out of that relationship for this one!! Sometimes it's all for the better. Thanks for the read and the kind reply. Hugs in the spirit to you and Angela---Christina

          Sometimes things work out which surprise us and later we see the sense and the blessings that true love can bring. A fine and honest write Christina.

            Thanks Fay! I appreciate your kind reply. It took a while to see through the pain but I got something beautiful out it. That's what I wanted to get the brokenhearted readers to see in it.
