Broken promises

Broken promises,

lies and no remorse

from him.

My marriage is on a

dangerous course.

Thirty-one years

I was blinded by love.

Now the truth

mocks me,

shocks me.

I thought it was

his illness that

made him,

but I found out,

now that he is well,

that selfishness was

all him.

Crassness was

all him.

My love is hurled

into confusion and

disillusion.

My only hope now is

freedom.
