The end...

The end is here by no surprise
So why can’t I wipe these tears from my eyes?
It was inevitable that this day would come
The bond we shared has become undone
I think of the good times that we’ve shared
Even the ups and downs throughout the years
That warm spring day that we met
The first kiss we shared I’ll never forget
Recently though, things have changed
You have been distant, somewhat estranged
Someone else has sparked your interest
And what we had you’ve put to rest
She’s stolen your heart, which belongs to me
Now how could that be?  I thought I held the only key
I’ve tried everything that I know
To hold onto you and never let go
The more I try to tighten my grip
The more it loosens and you continue to slip
Right out of my hands, and into her arms
She has wooed you with lust and with false charm
Her web of deceit she continues to spin
And it won’t be complete until she wins
Our vows of marriage you have put out of sight
It’s clear for me to see I have lost my place in your life
For truly no one loves you more than me
But our time has ended, so I’ll let you be
This is the hardest thing that I’ve ever done
To tell another woman he’s yours and you’ve won

[Pax Analog]

Losing one tie opens up another one. When someone wants to play elsewhere, they haven't gotten the same message from the relationship as the voice in this poem has.

Your poem deals lucidly with the pain of disappointment, and also shows courage in the stoic resignation re the other woman.

It's difficult, but when one loves oneself, one realizes that what belongs to you stays naturally, and you take a deep breath, quietly affirming the best is yet to come. It's the PROCESS we must trust more than any one person.

Good work.

After a few lines I ran a beat in my head. This piece would really rip done live with the right emotion pushing it. Really well written. It takes courage to put your feelings on view. That's why it takes courage to be a writer.

All the best to you.

This felt so real-like I had just been kicked in the stomach.
I can relate to many of the painful images created which gives this piece so much weight.
Wow for the first time I am feling Pax and totally agree with him.
Beloved it is the process-that makes us new!
It is purging, and renewing by putting life experiences/puzzles down on paper
before us and watching the God work it out.
Nice rhythm and flow throughout...almost
blues-y.
The end is here by no surprise
So why can't I wipe these tears from my eyes?
It was inevitable that this day would come
The bond we shared has become undone

Heavy & powerful words...

Sorry you have to go through something like this.
