Words of Withered Blur

Words of Withered Blur

Soft flames atop candles flicker and dance.
I stare at the light. My mind, lost in trance.

A sacred marriage bed, no longer thriving.
It's you at the wheel, wrecklessly driving.

Thousands of memories crossing my mind.
Tonight, I shall break these ties that bind.

I'll walk away as these vows no longer exist.
Your temptations? I can now strongly resist!

Your a cowardice fool! An egotistical imbecile!
This promise! Your life no longer resembles!

You've chosen to share our bed in adultery.
I'll not pretend and hide my heart in sultry.

No words to describe your careless neglect.
My tears are empty now. Loveless! I suspect!

I'll not stand here with my heart torn and tainted!
Plainly her arms is a new canvas, freshly painted.

This was a blessed union in our Father's eyes!
Now expunged! For what? Your deceit and lies!

Go and take your love anew away to retreat!
In this marriage, my heart can no longer beat.


"I wanted to sit here and write you a letter.
With dignity, I wished I could end it better."

But in reality..

I find from my pen, the ink splotched in slurs.
Crumbled pages! These Words of Withered Blur.

Note from the Author:

If your wondering what initiated this write?: I got to thinking back to when I was a young teenage girl. I remember every time my heart was broken, I'd sit down and give him a piece of my mind, in the form of a letter as all other communication was a no-no. By sunrise, I'd be soaking in my own tears and have nothing before me but .... crumbled paper smeared with the things I wanted to say and in the end, what I couldn't bring myself to say at all. The "divorce" was the setup case and point for the inspiration behind it. :)
