Did you really mean that?
I don’t believe you did
For you have cut me to the quick
Shattered all belief.
I was already to join you
Paid my deposit
Organised work leave
And you spring this surprise on me?
I am feeling quite the fool
I didn’t see it coming
Though when I think back on it
It’s really no surprise.
You led me to believe
Set me up so perfectly
They say if it’s too good
Then most probably it isn’t.
But why her, what has she to offer?
I know you’ve been old friends
But I didn’t think, in a million years
You’d lay this on me today.
I thought I was beautiful,
You said so often enough.
I thought I was wonderful
As you texted everyday.
I thought I was your life partner
As we promised just last week.
So every plan is out the window
Every dream now dashed
I’ll watch you both leave hand in hand
I’ll consider revenge, seek restitution.
I hope it rains as never before,
Mountain trekking can be fraught
With mudslides, land slides,
Volcanoes, outlaw gangs with knives,
Karma may yet come to visit.
So as I lick my wounds
And contemplate my future
I can only hope that fate
Will step in at some point.

Karma a wonderful thing, perhaps when he sees her a la natural smeared in mud from their trekking adventure, he will know that he took the wrong one.
I think the persona was hoping for something more serious than being covered in mud. Thanks Jenny for your comment.
Ugh. This one depresses me. Vindictiveness is such an ugly trait.
It is Larry but it is also an initial emotional response to a dire situation.
Well, this one is something Michael. But when one was lied to and cheated on, a person tends to think this way till they realize they are better off without the cheat. Karma will win in the end, it always does. Just takes time.
Yes Jackie it does come back to bite you. Thanks for your comment, it is appreciated.
That was a long and beautiful poem, as always really.
Thanks so much Charley. You have a good day/evening.
This is really a great poem, Michael. You get in the heart of the cheated woman very nicely. It is also open to interpretation…the lovers could all be women. You are really a great writer!
Thanks Oliana you are very kind. It’s my female muse, she wanted an outing.
She does a great job.Reminds me of Stephen King who can write like he actually knows what we women are thinking.
I must have been one in a previous life.
A fortune teller told me years ago, I was actually a man in one previous life, but also a witch in another previous life. I may be on my last life now or close…(grins)
So sad when one is led to believe one thing & then hit & knocked out with just the opposite. Why do people feel it ok to play with others feelings? 😦
I think it’s called self centredness RoSy. A flaw in us all I think.
