Daunting; Poem by Dwayne Bailey

How daunting seems the task,

to rebuild my life at forty four;

When the woman I loved with all of me,

broke my heart and slammed the door.

Am I really that worthless,

unfit for her to love?

Am I such a lowly person,

that She’s so much above?



She has found a new love in her life,

perfect to her he seems;

While I lay alone in my bed,

alone with but my dreams.

She rips me every chance she gets,

unfit parent is what I am called.

She is pregnant with her new loves kid,

all I can do is bawl.



I have tried to start by dating again,

but lady luck hasn’t smiled my way;

My confidence seems much lower,

I’m at a loss for words to say.

I’m finding it hard to stay positive,

with the passing of each day;

Am I meant to be alone,

to me this brings dismay.
