You said you loved me madly,
That your love would be enough,
Yet I found that you had cheated,
The years ahead quite tough.
You cheated on me from the first,
Before we were together,
So how, exactly, could this be
A storm that we could weather?
This behaviour was a symptom,
It set a certain tone,
The life we had was toxic,
I’d have been better on my own.
Yet one thing does sustain me,
You have given me a gift,
You gave to me a daughter,
This gives my heart a lift.
A sombre “B”, but ringing so true… Best wishes for the Challenge 🙂

Thank you Ruby

Thank you!
So sad–but very moving. Beautifully done. Stopping by from the A to Z 🙂
Thank you Jaimie. Good luck with A-Z
Another beautiful poem. Good luck with your latest challenge. I have too many challenges right now to do A to Z but maybe next year.
Thank you Alana. We are so excited! Only 3 days to go to D day!! X
Yikes… that’s a hard relationship. But at least a lovely child came of it. 🙂

Indeed! Often the best comes out of the worst…
I can relate to it Caro but I was not blessed with children. A cheating partner knocks the stuffing out of you and your the one that ends up feeling truly mixed up and worthless. Have been there and not a nice feeling. On a lighter note glad you have your lovely daughter. Now is the most exciting chapter of your life about to begin and enjoy every minute of it….. 🙂
We will. We will!
Thanks for your lovely card and present!
