Manipulation

Eyes burning, tears at the brim, ready to fall,

Throat is raw, sobs threatening to escape.

Heart, beginning to sink.

The new information that has been

Brought to light.

Thought that it would never happen with this one.

Thought the feelings were real both ways.

Trusted with every ounce available to give.

Back stabbed.

Blindsided.

Lied to.

Manipulated.

So many feelings.

Overwhelmed by them all.

But can't get rid of the love.

The love will always be there.

No matter how much pain must be endured.

Ripped apart.

The heart.

Severely damaged.

The emotions.

Unable to comprehend the intensity of the pain.

The mental stability.

Lost for ever.

The soul.

He was the tragedy.

But where, and who, is the clarity?

This was so beautifully written that it touched me deeply. It actually reminded me of one of the characters of my story and if you can get someone to relate to your writing then that is truly something. I loved this and it was a very enjoyable read. I thought that your format was so nicely put in, so subtle and yet it made the poem so much better. "Overwhelmed by them all. But can't get rid of the love. The love will always be there." Those few lines were just stunning and so beautifully written. And so powerful too. This was what I thought a very well written, realistic and an enjoyable poem. I look forward to reading more of your works.

Powerful and emotional ride in the poetry. I felt the sadness and the hurt in the words shared. Thank you for sharing the powerful and worthwhile poetry.
