A Love Betrayed, a Heart Broken
A Poem Written by My Wife Joyce
My heart lay all broken,
bleeding and torn.
I moan
Why had this happened?
Why was I born?
--
How could you do this?
Fracture my trust?
Turn our hope into travesty?
Our love into dust?
--
One moment of weakness,
one stolen glance
turns to temptation
to take just one chance.
--
It happened, it happened,
just happened, you say.
Just once. In a moment
years thrown away.
--
You ask forgiveness.
You beg my indulgence.
My tears fall like rain.
My hurt fills an ocean.
--
Hearts are hard healers.
Trust a tenuous mend.
Roses won't do it.
Diamonds don't send.

Roses won't do it.
Diamonds don't send.
Infidelity a word
so comfortably trite.
You called it a mistake.
Is this easier to right?
How can I forgive?
How can I not?
How will I trust you?
That is my lot.
But, my love,
I still love you.
How foolish it seems!
This heart so tormented
Still holds on to the dream.

- How Do You Know If You Are in Love with Someone?Just thinking about being in love with someone makes me think about what being "in love" is? I mean, I know what loving someone is, it is caring about and for them unconditionally.
- How Do You Know when Someone is in Love with You?Often we have to ask ourselves, does he/she really love me? Is he/she really in love with me? Am I in love with him/her? Do I really love him/her? These are questions of the heart and only you know the answer.
- Love WorthyThere is a huge difference in love. People are always searching for this four letter word. In this research paper we discuss the variables of love, ultimately ending up with the true form of love.
- True Love vs InfatuationIf you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with? I reject this notion of settling with every fiber of my being, and my being is high in fiber.
Looking for LoveSeeking love that looks the way I want it to look; perfectly lovely.
