Thrown In All Directions

Posted by James Browning on

Why? Why did you stop loving me? Was it something I did? Something I didn’t do? One day you loved me and the next you didn’t. All of a sudden you did not want to kiss me, hold me or make love to me. I am shattered into a thousand pieces thrown in all directions. H.S.

I am bleeding, the cut is deep, and I cannot stop the flow.
The wound is deep within my heart.
I have no way of stopping the never-ending,
Flow of pain and torment,
That takes me captive,
Like a fast-moving river.
My heart lies shattered as broken glass,
Fragmented in a million pieces,

With Silence and Tears

Posted by James Browning on

You knew cheating was an unforgivable act to me. So what did you expect when you admitted in counseling you had an affair? I found a lawyer that day and filed for divorce. I always told you I would! Why didn’t you believe me? What’s broken can’t be mended. T.D.

The dew of the morning
Sunk chill on my brow,
It felt like the warning
Of what I feel now.
Thy vows are all broken,
And light is thy fame;
I hear thy name spoken,
And share in its shame.

In secret we met,
In silence I grieve
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.
If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee?
With silence and tears.
From “When We Two Parted” by
“Lord Byron”, George Gordon Byron

How Can It Be

Posted by James Browning on

You are not who you made me believe you were. What you shared about your past was ALL lies! You got me to tell you my dreams and then said yours were the same. You worked so hard at being something you’re not, and for what? To get into my pants?  You’re a FAKE!  D.B.

How can it be
That you can’t see me?
I stand before your non-seeing eyes
With blood on my wrists and begin to cry.
I run to the comforting corner between the walls.
I cannot take this hurt, these lies; not at all.
How can it be
That I’m on my own, but still not free?
