Seduction of Destruction 

Unsuspected 

Angel of death

Victims don’t know

Until last breath.

Cold blood in her

Runs like the wind

Her heart is ice

Many times sinned.

In her clutches 

Haven’t a chance

She’ll destroy you 

From that first dance.

Many untruths

To get her way

Keep you guessing

Both night and day.

She will proclaim 

You’re the loser

But it’s all lies

From an abuser.

Start making plans

To escape soon

Further away

Than nighttime’s moon.

Just run away 

And don’t look back

You’ll turn to stone

From all that flack…

Never Said Goodbyes

What could you tell me 

That I don’t already know

What could you sell me 

That’d make my life grow.

What else could you reveal 

That would set everything right

What could you gesture, a meal

To appease all my appetites

What could you do to restore faith 

Then and only then your kindness starts

So, why so often are you a wraith

Cruelty not love, did you impart.

What other games would you play

Toying with the purest heart

When your final hand is played 

Is when resentment starts.

How far will your “sorries” go

To reassert my favor with you

Are you truly sorry, “no”

The main reason I left you.

Marriages come then they go 

When someone leaves it’s earned

After years of the to and fro

The love, destroyed, it’s burned…

Dirty Diana

Of all the Diana’s and their claim to fame

You’re the far dirtiest with that name.

You truly don’t know where lowest low is 

But I must tell you, you’re there sis. 

Lying, deception, manipulation, and greed 

I hated myself and you planted the seeds.

Low self esteem, misery, I was on a roll 

All the more easier for you to control.

As a result, my health took a nose dive

You couldn’t care less, if I were dead or alive.

Zero intimacy not even near misses 

Since another, got all your kisses.

Home from work, but I couldn’t vent

Lest you would tell me to go “get bent”.

You took my money and destroyed my credit

You should be thankful there’s no ‘Women’s Reddit’.

You even got alimony from me for two years 

And all I got from you were tears.

You said cruel things and had a lot of nerve

Karma will find you, granting what you deserve…

It’s No Longer All About You

This poem that I write

Isn’t for you tonight

I write about me

About being free.

No more lies and frustration

No more games and manipulation

No more playing your crazy

And being accused of being lazy.

So now that you’re far away

I’m a happier person today

So have yourself the greatest life

Now that you’re no longer my wife…

Neglected in Love

Chew me up and spit me out

Drop me like an afterthought

This is what your love is all about

Leaving someone to fester and rot.

Take and take and never give

Selfishness your middle name

Not a happy life to live

When the relationship is like a game.

Lure me back when I fade away

Making me thing you just might care

Manipulations led us astray

When you’re caught all unaware.

No amount of love given

Will alter this torturous course

A life of misery is what you are living

Wondering if it can ever get worse.

The only thing to do

Is bring this all to a final end

Loving yourself through and through

Will assure this never happens again…
