Wounded

Written for Poetry Potluck

lies cutting like knives
trust bleeds away marriage vows
heart and breath taken

to hard to forgive
death blow to relationship
love torn asunder

one careless mistake
lives undone by deception
splitting families

(...not autobiographical :)

  1. This is the worst deception and I've read a lot of poems about this today. Sad. I'm glad it's not your story.

  6. Thanks for sharing Gloria. Brevity, very good. Sad story, I hate to see people get hurt, it seems those of whom trust the deepest, bleed the most.

    Hope to hear from you again.
    Have a Blessed and Happy Day.
