You Call This Love? ~ On The Path To Enlightenment

You Call This Love? ~ On The Path To Enlightenment

A Poem by anne p. murray- LadeeAnne

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One cold day in December, the year was 1996

he walked into her life-later on, with his kind blue eyes

He asked,“Will you be my wife”?

 

 

She didn’t listen with her head, she let her heart do all the talking

then one day he gave the painful blows and she sent him walking

A few days passed- and like a fool she let him back into her life

She said...“I thought you loved me. after all...

you asked me to be your wife”?

 

 

She thought he had changed, his promise, merely words said in vain

then he slapped her in her face, her head, her heart, so filled with pain!

With his hands around her neck, he sat, watching her bleed

Then he blamed it all on her, but it was him who did the dirty deed

 

His love, his heart, so filled with rage, so mad

“It’s all your fault”, he said- he accused her of being bad

She was stripped naked-raw to the bone

Their house, so empty of love-it never felt like home

 

 

Her confidence, slowly feigned, her tears, slowly slipping...

gently dripping...like rain on a window pane

 

 

Then one day she finally said, “I’m bidding you a lonely farewell...

but before you go, I want you to know -

'D****t it', you really put me through hell”!

I cursed a lot more than that in the closing scene, but yeah, this is pretty much exactly how my life went as well. They never change. My mom once told me a really great quote..didn't understand the meaning way back when but fully understand it now....it goes something along the line of : "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time." I go with my gut now. My gut, not my heart or my head, those two are always leading me in the wrong direction, but gut reactions are pretty darn accurate.
