leave me now empty and thirsty of everything you have ever shown me. do not try any other way so, do not look back just let go. be consoled by the fact you made choices, never think of how i will make mine. never care, do not think of how i'm faring. for i will manage and i will be. you have loved me once, that i am thankful for. but you hurt me too, perhaps too much. lies upon lies, truth no longer comprehensible. understanding has it's limits, so does patience, love and most things in life. mayhaps, you will realize, probably too late. and i will just smile and remember you, while i hold my beloved's hand. and hide the tears in my heart.

Have you all lost your minds? This is not a good poem. A bore. I could barely make it through.

i have tryed to put into words how i felt after finding out my ex-husband cheated on me. the words just never seemed right. this poem is as close as i could find. i love it, yet hate it at the same time. for me it rings all too true....
