Forsaken Poem by K J

Meaningless words were spoken with ease
from blasphemous lips content to deceive.

Words of commitment, adoration and trust,
insignificant words— revealed as unjust.

Well versed in deception with lies most “sincere, ”
she eloquently said, “I’ll always love you'

Emotional wounds gouge unfathomably deep.
Diminished in his absence, discarded, I weep.

Indiscretion has shattered all of our plans;
devastation too painful to solely withstand.

Bittersweet memories dictate every thought;
emptiness defeats me, cast aside, thus forgot.

The bloom of youth withers; age maligns my face.
Heartfelt pleas ignored, she leaves me in disgrace.

Our time together ended, scorned by his misdeeds,
an unsuspecting fool, relinquished, my hope bleeds.

Enthralled by other men she revels in their flesh.
Held hostage by depression I wallow in its depths.

Shaken by reality my consciousness falls numb;
disowning those tomorrows I pray will never come.

Bereft of the affection sworn forever mine,
banished to oblivion, scars may heal in time.

Estranged, I wane in silence remembering yesterday;
certain she once loved me, uncertain why she strayed.

Unworthy of forgiveness she summons my disdain.
Averse to love another, I withdraw, scarcely sane.

Within this realm of misery my soul profoundly suffers.
Abandoned for the wanton bliss of her other lovers.
