He Lied

 

When the Dr said I had MS

It fazed me none the least…..

It fazed my spouse,

The stupid louse…..

He acted like a beast.

 

He found himself a girlfriend

Before he even tried

Said he’d never leave me.

Said he’d always love me.

He lied.

 

He moved me back to the mid-west

Where family and friends I had,

Then moved himself in with her…

Now tell me that’s not bad.

 

Then he left two of our three girls with me

I finished raising them by myself.

It was like he’d put his family on hold….

He had put us on a shelf.

 

It wasn’t ‘til then my anger grew,

But funny how this is…..

I grew so angry @ myself

For ruining his kids.

 

Oh I have since remarried

And the Love I have is bliss

But I still worry bout my girls…..

I still worry about his kids.

 

This morning our youngest called me,

I want for her the best

But I see her making choices that

Put that to the test.

 

I give it all to Jesus,

But I still have to cry,

When I lay my girls at his feet

And ask Him why, oh why?

 

I know it’s not the only cause,

Or that I had not tried…

But this one thing I know for sure,

I know this….. HE LIED.

Well, I'm glad you know that all men are not like this. But when one is in our lives and it involves our kids...well, it's just the pits! Good poem. Like you said, "self explanatory."

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
