Your Poison, mixed by You

betraying and lost...

Your Poison, mixed by You

 

Your overdose

Didn't take me by surprise,

However, it didn't happen as fast I as

I presumed it

 would

I hope it was peaceful,

You weren't found in time--this time.

You were always chasing ghosts

Never valuing your life

Not one soul ever understood it,

But for me.

That one was thought to stay in her room

While you died alone,

That girlfriend that you were with--not me.

My replacement, she did not save you,

From yourself.

But I did when we lived together,

We were still legally married,

Even though, we were separated for at

Least, six years, and you died

Without me, always being there to

Care for you,

Could it be that you paid dearly for

Your sins against me?

Or, that you just gave up

 And ended it as you wanted.

I will never know the truth,

Nor do I care.   --J. E. Cook ©2017

A powerful read. Real life is a hard teacher.
"I hope it was peaceful,

The above lines. Real life and many follow this road. Thank you Josie for sharing your words and thoughts.

Your title alone captured my attention.
A very powerful, heartfelt read with a strong closing line. Unfortunately a life, and pain many endure.
