I still remember
Your bone chilling words
Crystal clear in my mind
The sadistic pleasure you got that day
Such a petty reason behind
All that unnecessary melodrama
You shushed me whenever I tried to explain
You got your way
But what did you attain?
A boost to your ego
That you finally proved me wrong
With your harsh words
You didn’t make me weak,
No, you made me strong.
It’s been exactly a week now
Since you broke all contact
I’ve never been so content
With my dignity still intact.
It’s surprising
How easily you hurt me
Remembering, the different side of you
It all seems untrue.
Now,
All your lies
And all your pretense
stares me in the face
I can’t believe I trusted you for so long
Sick to my stomach,
It’s such a disgrace.
Though we shared a wonderful past
The bond’s now broken
From this never ending nightmare you kept me captive in
I have awoken.
I no more kill myself with guilt
I’m free from your clutches
You probably deserve better
But just know that I burned your memory to ashes.
I would’ve apologized
This time too
Like I always do
But something stopped me in my tracks
You pointed out the things I lack.
And had a mighty good time making me feel worthless
Maybe that was just anger
With a hint of sarcasm
And pent up frustration
But that gave you no right to be so heartless.
I’m finally at peace with who I am
With a handful of people having faith in me
Thankful to have learned this lesson
Even though the hard way
I now, know we were never meant to be.

I wish you well on your relationships. I hope that who ever you wrote about in this one, is the same creep you wrote about in the last one, because I would hate to think that there is more than one man out there being mean to you. Good luck!

I’m surprised you noted the similarity between the two poems.
Indeed, it is about the same person.
The recent one is just a bit more stingy. :P
Thank you for being so considerate.
Time to check out your poems. :D

I’ve visited a number of blogs, quite randomly, and this is the first time i come across one where people seem to follow a polite culture of thanking each other for spending time on their piece, as if they were obliging the blogger. I wonder if i am supposed to read further into this…
nonetheless, the idea of being thanked by a pretty lady is rather pleasant, i’d say!
Bottled Up Sentiments. . said:
Thank you so much Anonymous ! :)

Thanks for visiting me and I really liked this poem a lot! God did not intend for us to allow anyone to abuse us, verbally – mentally – physically, ever! I allowed it for over 10 years and now have a fabulous husband that would die before he ever hurt me. They are out there. I had totally given up when God dropped Mark into my path. It took him 3 months to convince me to give him a chance and I’ve never looked back! :) Peace and blessings, Teresa
P.S. I subscribed too. I’m really busy homeschooling but will try to touch base when I get the chance now and then.
Bottled Up Sentiments. . said:
You know you’re really strong Terri !
And good things happen to good people.
I’m sure Mark will always be there for you and your son through thick and thin !
Thank you for sharing your story with me !
I’ll check out your other poems too. :)

You have awesome poetry! Very genuine and open expression–and I really like the subtle, almost lyric quality of this one in particular, too–very nicely done! Thanks for writing! =)

Thank you for your polite words.
Looking forward to your works.
Marcellino said:
You know what— think I like this one the most. It’s just exactly how things go, are. All these hidden, often unspoken gestures, remarks, scolds, looks and reproaches. Inflicting extra pain after pain already done.
Well, see you around I guess and thank you for commenting on “Going Home”.
Bottled Up Sentiments. . said:
My pleasure. And to be honest I never thought so many people could relate to this poem.
thank you for stopping by ! :)

This is AWESOME. It so resonates with me. It’s essentially what I was saying in “Gone”. Thank you for this. I feel like someone out there understands exactly where I am and that’s special to me.

It’s nice to know there are many more out there feeling the same way I do. Thank you for stopping by Katie. I’ll definitely check out your poems too. :)

Very clever. A universal expression of a personal experience that resonates beyond. The starkness of, “The bond’s now broken” ,is brutal.
It has been a pleasure to discover your poetry, I look forward to exploring your back pages, and await new material with interest.

Thank you for your feedback and constructive criticism.
