Deadly is loneliness!

This is just a reciprocation to my poem 'Resilience, O! NO’, where the wife desserts her distrustful husband.

 

“Have I done the right,” thought he,

“Have I heard her bewail painfully,

have I noticed her agony deep and

have I sensed her curse so strong?”

 

No, not; turned I and walked away,

heartless and sightless instead.

Doubtless couldn’t I be to trust her;

down words of hers fell into deaf ears.

 

Patience from me had absconded,

rage taking reign around in hand

painted scarlet on her spongy cheeks

that once had blushed in crimson.

 

Yet, she could withstand things all

for her precious darling, O! Mine too

 to dismiss him from being an orphan half

and uphold status hers, as my better half.

 

The softness of slightest degree from me

might have sought stairs for us to rise;

spoiled the tranquil, my suspicion;

stayed she deadened to my action.



Tasted she bitters the most at my step,

the step of DNA-test for the son,                             

Packing her bags and picking up the dear,

Dashed she to her parents for solace.

 

This deadly loneliness will kill me

On a recap, look things very lucid;

Yes, you are guiltless, you are my honey,

And my little darling, you are my blood.”

  2. Not only does absence make the heart grow fonder, but it gives us time to see how we were to blame. You capture this well.

  4. Well, what's a guy to do? Sometimes he just needs to ask for that DNA test ;-)

  5. Oh what a tale you have told that is ever present today....I think my favorite lines were...

    'Softness of slightest degree from me
    Might have sought stairs for us to rise;'

    These could stand alone for any relationship that is damaged...it is but a bit of softness we give that can mean all the difference.

  8. In what should be a trusting relationship,if suspicion makes it entry and goes to unreasonable limits,walking out is sensible.

  9. Suspicion corrupts a relationship and if fuelled by doubt and jealousy, then of course there is no longer any reason to be together. Regret afterwards will not cure the anguish of absence...
