Beyond Recovery Poem by Deborah Cromer

We were still somewhat friends, but then there came the money
Just a drive to a faraway place, by then I was not your only honey
I loved you endlessly and faithful, I believed you were my loving man
You did not set me free though, I could have taken off and ran

Why did you fool me, trick me into thinking we were as one
Why, why, why does not matter, what is done is done
I have changed my hours and my route, just to not see you anymore
The visions of you and her always together were too hard to ignore

Each time I would see you together I would want to somehow die
Endless was the pain, I suffered daily and would forever cry
I would see you with her, right by her sickening side
I lost all control of my feelings, I cried and cried and cried

Day after day it would never end, until I just had to let it go
I forgot who I was and became someone I did not know
No more did I remember that we together ever were
Forgetting about us seemed to be my new found cure

For months I barley survived, so very, very lost
Freedom of not remembering us, for only a melancholy cost
