[hometext] => I'd appreciate your thoughts on this....
[bodytext] => Locked away inside my mind, Swimming in the madness. Such naked discontent have I, Bargaining with my sadness. I gave you my heart... It was yours to take, But you never wanted it... It was my soul you raped. Exposed to the core, Standing in front of you... Violated again and again... Never loved, only used. For lust is not love. It was never going to be... But oh how I kept hoping, Eyes closed, pretending not to see. No matter how much I hoped, It didn't change a thing. Lived in denial far too long... Even settled for your little ring... Because I fell in love with you, When you weren't much of a man. Living out of your office... No real goals or career at hand. I ignored the red flags... Chose to just see you. Loved you so very much... I didn't have a clue. Lust is not love. You picked yourself up... Made yourself a career... Provided us an empty home, And not an ounce of cheer. While you were finding yourself, In the world making your way... You neglected the most important things... You know what they are, needless for me to say. If you'd been hurt in an accident... Paralyzed from the waist down... I would've remained by your side, With love so great it would astound! It never mattered to me... Wether you were rich or poor... Because when I looked into your eyes, My heart raced and longed for more. But it was never there... Atleast in that regard... For it was far too easy, For you to ignorantly disgard... My trust, my blinded love, My hopes and dreams shattered. Now I sit here alone writing... In shock that I never mattered. Lust is not love! But how it made me want things... Things I never believed in before. Craving intimacy so badly... Showed you my heart, unlocked the door. For the first time in my life... Had hopes and dreams of a future. Wanted to call you my husband... To feel safe in your arms and nurtured. Just wanted to be loved unconditionally, For rich or for poor... In sickness and in health... But you simply closed the door. Now steel bars and shackles embrace me... They're cold and unforgiving. My pain invisible to everyone else... I must continue living. The game goes on as I struggle... Playing the cards I was dealt... It's so painful to see now... That I was just fooling myself. Because lust is not love!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
