Betrayal Poem

Is it better to have loved and lost than never loved at all? This is the subject of this poem. A woman gives her trust and it is thrown away like garbage.

Nothing

© Andrea Y. Gallego
Crushed like ice
Like twenty tons have been thrown on my soul
You spoke those words that emitted through your vocal cords like venom
A snake you were
Looking through my eyes into my core
So delicately
You devised your plan, to kill everything inside me
Skillfully you weaved your web, planted your trap
And with your love decoy blindfolded my logic
All which was open was my trust
Your weapon
You deceived, I believed
Your arms were so warm,
Now the only warmth I feel
Is that of my blood
Spilling from my soul
As my life swings carelessly
Like a pendulum
Back and forth
Higher and higher
But going nowhere
The 5 senses have gone numb
I scream louder and louder
But no one hears me
They speak they call out to help
I cannot hear
Look at me look at the nothingness you have brought onto me
The well hath run dry
As she lay
Crippled from loves fangs
Until nothing remains
But her backbone
He hath eternally forsaken her
Her life has become
Life's lesson to women
Better to have Loved
Then never at all.

  • The poem... NOTHING, is my life's story. I had given 18 yrs. of my life and love to this man, thinking, believing and standing by his side! Always fighting to show him that I was real and true, I wanted nothing more ,but for him to love me just as I did him! My life was almost taken away from me because I loved him! I finally came to the conclusion that I would never lived the dream he had promised, because he was incapable of loving and being true. He was selfish and all for himself he has always felt that everyone owed him something and that he deserved everything for nothing! I hope Karma taps him on his shoulder soon!! As for me, I'm getting it all together and continuing to heal and move forward!!
