2 minutes/2 long
I had a life
I had a home
I had a love,
To call my own
I was a Queen
I was a Wife
I was a need
I was your life
I was once wanted
I was once needed
I was once your one and only
Now all I am is defeated
Disregarded for the ones you need more
Left to feel worthless/useless; a passed over score
A check mark/checked out; a soulmate,snuffed out
Someone of no meaning; an old, pathetic used up whore
As I wither in pain
And mourn what we were
All you can do
Is feel me, no more
Because I was never the one
To make you see bliss
In this life, with me
In our own abyss
Because I'm not enough
And I see that now, so true
I'll never add up
To what they/her can do for you.

Thank you. Love is Soo many emotions, good and bad. Glad you see the beauty in it as well as the noticeable pain :)

Beautiful but sad poem. I hope it is not based on experience, no one should have to feel undervalued by the one they love.

Thank you very much. And yes, it is a resemblance of my life right now. Cried out of me in less than 2 minutes; thus the name of the poem. So much pain and void of understanding tends to lead down a dark, lonely path.

Thanks for the words. I often 🥫 me back and read my work so I can feel something, anything at times when I feel myself numb. If you can't feel your own words, how can others trust your own feedback to theirs. Take care
