Poem about love gone bad after many years
All The Years by Brenda Strauser
Love Bites writing prompt entry

Do all the years mean nothing, just meaningless, our marriage a big lie?

One betrayal, then another, an  another, how many are there?  Or do I really want to know so I can hurt again.

How can you hide this much betrayal?  Do I even know you, who are you?

You are a stranger to me. Did you ever love me?

You continue to lie to my face.  I don't ask you anymore, you won't tell the truth

How does anyone deal with this pain? I feel emptiness and confusion

I feel numb, I feel nothing. I ache like a knife was put through me. 

Do you have any sense of guilt, or do you think  the  gifts you give me make up for what you do?

I have this deep pain within  me, it hurts to my very being.

I gave you the best years of my life. I just want to run away, any place away from you.

You just play the  game like everything is okay. It's always  about you.

I hope they make you happy, you will have to face God someday.
