Infidelity - the feelings of betrayal of a longtime spouse |
FORSAKEN Distant, vacant, bleary eyes No longer shine with love’s surprise Blindsighted visions memorized And seeing more each day. Blaring silence as eager ears Await the sound they long to hear One audible for thirty years And muting more each day. Passion’s scent invades the nose Inhaled betrayal clings to clothes Lingering stench, deceit exposed And reeking more each day. Two deserted thirsty lips Unquenched, denied their true love’s kiss Faking the smile of happiness And fading more each day. Invisible forgotten face Behind a mask of veiled disgrace Hiding the shame in every place And baring more each day. Cast aside this forlorn heart Battered, broken and ripped apart Pierced coldly by deception’s dart And bleeding more each day. Laden and tormented soul Debased by abusive control Wrought with grief demanding its toll And moaning more each day. Anxious in this wedding pew Hearing the vows once lied by you Salting the wounds of sorrow’s brew And hurting more each day. Cruel how love can turn away Sacrificed for another play Asking God’s help, no more delay And praying more each day. |
