WHY?

Betrayed by husband and friend.

For months you courted

Competed, clearly a win.

Then my heart you crumple, screw up

Discard in the bin.

Years have passed and I still question

My hat I take off and bowl.

How easily you walked away

From our wedded vow.

I left my family, friends

My life, for you.

All my hopes, dreams and

Forever, I said 'I do'.

For better or worse

In sickness and in health.

Till death do us part

Not, to rip out my heart.

We'd talk for hours

Till the sun went down.

You'd romance me, serenade

Make a smile from my frown.

One day you were here

Our dreams, future mapped out.

The next you were gone

Not a word, not a shout.

Was I not pretty enough?

Too fat? or too thin?

I'd have cut my hair, 

I'm sorry for the colour of my skin.

What did she offer

That I could not give?

The two of you together, betrayed me

Stole my want to live.
