Taken

Taken

A Poem by Josie E. Cook M. A.
"

When life becomes something unplanned...

"

Taken

 

Details fill my world

Sometimes too much,

Becoming a clutter of minutes

That cause confusion

And annoyance,

Other times,

They are a welcome distraction.

 

Finding out about your affair

Was a total surprise

Nothing seemed that out of place

Or wrong,

No hint of anything amiss enough

To cause this deception.

 

Our marriage seemed like we were

Settled into each other,

So peaceful and caring most of the time,

We were infatuated still with each other

At many timeless and enduring moments,

In harmony with our domestic lives,

We made love often and missed each other

When one was not around,

Nothing dwindled between us

Our connection remained strong and loving.

 

Until that final blow, that took me by surprise. �"J. E. Cook ©2017

A bittersweet poem of love and betrayal. The hardest journey in life at present, one confused and lost, uncertainty shrouding usual thoughts. It's so easy to get caught up in the wondering, because there are so many questions we'll NEVER have the answers to, but what matters is that you're your own best friend, no matter what.

Oh boy can I relate !!!! I love this peace because it truly represents what we all think ... that nothing is wrong nothing could possibly change ... but people change life goes on and so do we. I hope that you find true love unless you have found so already.
