A Weeping Heart Poem by Giselle Joseph

Emotions drenched my body
as you uprooted your tree of love
trimmed the branches
and set it ablaze.

You deliberately destroyed me
my life, my love, my everything
I entrusted my all with you
but you spat it out
like vomit.

I gave you a home, a life, a family
in return, you belittled me
like margarine
you pasted my name recklessly
filled with untruths and filth.

Am grateful though
for the path you took
now am free again to look
to find that someone
to call my own
not leaving me behind
and all alone.

I've placed my trust
within myself
to carry to and fro
where ever I may go
knowing that the wings of love
will soon flutter by
and refill my heart
which seldomly cries.
