Separate Ways

We had gone as far as we could.

Said all that we could say.

We can do no further good.

So neither of us want to stay.

Our last words are being said.

Along with a deep firm hug.

For one last time I held her head.

Feeling my heart give that familiar tug.

The times we had were very hard.

Many situations were each unfair.

Our story mapped on a crooked chart.

Painful times we both did share.

As I hold her for the last time.

Fresh warm tears stain my face.

Break-ups are horrible like the scene of a crime.

Pain, ruin, and destruction all over the place.

What was the final cause?

I’m not sure if we’ll ever know.

Many bad circumstances we tripped across.

Never finding any stability or flow.

We share heartfelt goodbyes.

And many “I’m sorries” in our embrace.

We let go, I give kiss her forehead as she cries.

I softly wipe the tears streaking down her face.

The life we shared now at an end.

And the memories of it today, are just a haze.

Once we were lovers, but now distant friends.

Parting, each we go our separate ways…

A Narcissist is Born 

She was an innocent naive flower of a woman.

Until the cruel, cold, harsh world, got a hold of her.  Then cynicism took over, and her heart turned to ice.

Instead of love, all she could see was hate. Her trust, betrayed, she was heartbroken. Then set her sights n hurting others, as misery loves company…

Rejection

What does it feel like?

Tingling dull pains and medium pressure running down to your lower abdomen.

Feeling small amounts of urine trying to escape your bladder.

The pain traces your heart and soul.

Warm heat radiating outwards to infinity.

You can feel these oscillations repeat.

Very warm cheeks as you’re flush feeling like the fool again.

You’ve had this enough times to recognize the patterns.

Someone has to so that others will understand…

Gaslight (Ex) Wife

I know it’s up but you say it’s down

Desired respect but treated as a clown

Right I swear but you say left

Peace of mind that is your theft

Saying it’s inside when I knew it was out

Exasperate me to a scream and shout

Feel it Cold when it’s clearly hot

Giving away the love I never got

Insisting night while the sun says it’s day

Running crazy circles with games you play

Proclaim it near when it’s rather far

Smashing sanity without leaving a scar

Misdirection has me befuddled and mad

Kick up those high heels with fun to be had

With her tones and a hurtful word

I Fall prey to pageantry of absurd

My temper rises and I feel hurt

And it’s time for her dessert

Calmly asking why I’m upset

Patronizing as she can get

Criticizing my tone which rises fast

Wondering how long this hurt will last

I turn around and walk away

A parting shot she would say

Getting away is what my goal was about

Then above a whisper, “Go ahead and pout”
