It's hard to get over a lost love, and we go through all sorts of emotions through the grieving process. But in the end, we come back stronger. Thank you for sharing the beautiful presentation with us.

let's see... denial... depression... bargaining... anger... next is acceptance - she's on her way!

a great free verse of losing love... yet finding herself...
good imagery and smooth flow from line to line... nice one!

thank you for sharing
shelley :)

Another fine poem, Gypsy, and one the parts of remind me of my situation, asking myself so many unanswered questions. I wish I could say roughly what you say at the end, but it's not that simple

    Yes, I know Mike but my divorce happened 17 years ago so I had plenty of time to move on. It took me 5 years to reach a point I didn't cry when I talked about him. I was really in love but thinking back leaving was the best thing for me.

    Thank you very much.

    I still don't understand her decision but One over it for the most part

    Her decision was to move on and see him as what he truly was.

You say in a short verse of poetry what it takes me 4 pages to say. I want to learn from you! I know nothing about poetry.
Love if you check out my stories...Willing to learn

    I have three clubs I manage, haiku, Japanese poetry, and finding your muse. If you only write prose you would probably like finding your muse. I'll check your stories but I usually only review poems because I'm a slow reader.

    Thank you very much for your exceptional six stars review and kind words.

First of all let me just say- presentation is beautiful. Love the picture, the font, the colors. Second, I liked the twist. As someone who has lived through the worst kind of betrayal, I was thinking that if this is true, you were being way more tender than I could ever be. Then the pain was there. Definitely, felt the strong emotion of it all.
I am not sure with the font, check the spelling on vows. It may be me, but I thought it looked like a 'b'.
Not sure if this is autobiographical-but if it is, good for you. I know for me, writing about it has been very cathartic. In fact one of the first things I posted on here was fiction, but it let me explore my anguish. Basically, an adulterer was shot and killed by their vicitm. :-)
Don't worry, I do not have murderous tendencies--but, it was a nice release of emotions I had bottled up for past few years.
Well done Ms. Gypsy, you captured the pendulum swing of betrayals emotions.

P.S. We definitely deserve better!

    Thank you, Glenda,

    It is real, not fiction. I didn't want to kill him but there were times I hated him and I let him know how I felt, his lover too. I left our home when he asked me to separate and I had to return to get something. I found his lover in the kitchen wearing just a little towel. I was so mad, I scared them.

    I find writing very cathartic too. I write a lot about the way I feel. I am a very sensitive person. Good for you, it sounds like you delt with your divorce better than me. After we separated he kept coming around asking for another chance only to leave 2 weeks later. He did it for a long time and it took me 5 years to move on. I guess everybody deals with grief in their way. It has been 17 years and I am a completely different person, much wiser and stronger.

    Thank you, Glenda, I corrected bow/vow and lightened up the font color. I appreciate your exceptional review.

Very well written. There was a sadness throughout but the resolve at the end was strong and brought closure. I did see one typo. The line was "you forgot our wedding bows". I believe you meant it to be vows. Nice work.

I'm so sorry for the hurt you suffered from your ex. Recently, I learned of two husbands who left their wives after what seemed like a good marriage with children. I guess these men have no sense of commitments or keeping their vows.

    Thank you, big sister. Yes, Robert is a cheat, he did it with his ex-wife before me and the one after. He is a coward and I know I am better without him.

    love,

    I think some men are just like that. I remember a neighbor who was the third wife and it ended in divorce, too. So sad.
