Once upon a time
Several decades past
You loved me as I loved you
A love you swore would last.
You treated me like a lady
Showered me with gifts and love;
During courtship, you made me feel complete,
I was certain you were sent from Above.
I’m tired of wasting
my tears with the why’s!
Since when am I a whore
instead of your wife?
I don’t deserve to be punished
for being sick,
So how about you stop
being such a dick!?
My health will get better,
don’t discount my faith!
So if things don’t start changing,
I’m leaving, post-haste!

If only men could exercise this option without being universally reviled and vilified as cowards!
I take it you’re in a similar predicament? I am sorry to hear that, no one should be made to feel guilty about having a debilitating illness. It’s not like we have control over that type of shit, we are already suffering, why does it have to be magnified by loved ones knocking us down as if it is our fault somehow?
Thank you for sharing, I hope we both get past our hardships. 🙂

Very raw and direct- Confidence builds as each verse is exposed. The subject emotions are strong but in the end she is strong, well and secure in herself.
Excellent!
Thank you Joseph
Whenever darkness is cast
the true worth of others are
realised. This poem is deep
and yet it is written with the
knowing that life can be so
much better without the one
that understands little…
Have a lovely rest of weekend 🙂
