No More Despair Poem by Marie WardAlonge

Lost in despair,
I became aware.
It was the untimely rejection that was too far for me to see.
I wondered how this came to be.
Could you answer this question today?
Why did you have to act that way?

Don't mistake my timing or my haste to put to rest
This question I want you to address.
Whether you answer it now or later,
I am not trying to debate or been a hater.

I need closure
For a relationship that gave me too much exposure.
I have struggled to keep my composure.
I don't need mama or friends to sing me any lullabies.
They would worry if they saw the hurt and pain still in my eyes.

We started out as friends.
You became my worst nightmare in the end.
I should have known when we clicked.
Material things were your real-itch.
I didn't like your technique.
I shall know next time when love and I meet.

No more riddles, no more rhymes.
No more sweet words to consume your time.
I know it's typical for people to say-move on.
I can. I have. Let's face it-you know you were wrong.

Thoughts of you have plagued my head.
I want to forget some of the mean words you said.
I am clearing the air
So I can have no more despair.
