Now I’m here
You go away
Save cruelty
For another day.
–
Badness gone
Far away
Save it for
Another stay.
–
Leave this place
Move along
Singing a
Different song.
–
There’s no need
To explain
As your words
Cause me pain.
–
Bid adieu
Say goodbye
Pack your bags
I won’t cry.
–
For, my truth
Is at hand
You’re in a
Distant land.
–
Now I’m free
From your hate
Peace without
A debate…

Use me
abuse me
and you’ll lose me
–
Flake me
Fake me
And you’ll mistake me
–
Hurt me
Shirk me
And I’ll dessert thee
–
Push me
Prod me
And flog me.
–
I thought you were the one
Instead you used me for fun
And now I’m done…

For some of us, there are no happy endings
No twenty year anniversaries to celebrate
Instead, divorces with alimonies pending
Leaves us remaining of in a frazzled state.
–
Some were high school sweethearts
Or college friends from long ago
Many of which lead to two happy hearts
While the rest of us are just status quo.
–
What did we do that was so wrong?
To end up with such gruesome loves
I guess we sang to a different song
With circling vultures instead of doves.
–
We try our best to not have envy
Watching you all celebrate
Hold it together as best we can be
Looking only to ourselves, to appreciate.
–
A pure love that we all read about
That is what your lives have shown
Selflessness and sacrifice in large amount
Those things, from others, we’ve never known.
–
So please remember us, solitary souls
As your anniversary years accrue
As we’re finding all the answers alone
Remember, you’re lucky, that someone truly loves you…

I once was yours
In that vain
Endless chores
Pouring rain.
–
Hateful notions
Thrown at me
Lackluster devotion
In an empty sea.
–
Promises given
But never delivered
Agendas hidden
Coldness shivered
–
Heartless mental abuse
At your very hands
In my pain you’d amuse
Making other sticky plans.
–
Inside was out
And outside in
Matriarchal clout
Cold ice within.
–
You though you were clever
That I’d eternally chomp at the bit
Until I saw never, your forever
Then I wised up and quit.
–
Less and less I look back
All the lessons have been learned
I greatly suffered from your lack
Someday, your karma will be returned…

Like spiders to flies.
I’m caught in her web of lies.
Her glee through my cries…

Abuse is unjust.
Emotional hurts are cruel.
And they do not heal…
