This is sad in the respect that it shows a disillusioned marriage . It is hard to imagine anything more hurtful. The tearing out of a part of one's heart. And yet the final stanza shows an indomitable spirit. This calls to judgment, was there true love and an eternal pledge to this commitment. It is encouraging that this wounded soul is healing with resolve. Loren

Enjoyed the poem. We can feel the cold darkness of the night that can't cocoon her any longer. The aloneness she feels from being rejected by the one she was to depend on. We all have been there.

You've described well the woman who has been betrayed, perhaps her marriage vows broken by an unfaithful spouse. I like that her warrior spirit soldiers on, but I hope she finds a better resolution to her situation. 'This too shall pass' doesn't offer much hope for her sorrow. Blessings. Carol

    Thanks for your review, Carol.

    In this verse,
    "she"is me.

    I suppose that I am using poetry as a tool to cope with my 25 year marriage ending.

This is a really emotional poem with so much sadness going on. Only an indominable spirit could end on such an up note, soldiering on with a warrior's spirit.

with pride soldiers on."

Unfortunately, I and many have known betrays or unrequited love. But God gives us hope, and a new future. The words, "this too shall pass" may sound corny to some, but to those in need, they ring true. That was a wonderful way to complete your work, with the woman's warrior spirit marching on in pride.

Hi KL,
This poem flows well with its abcb quatrains and use of repetition to strengthen the emotional impact of the poem. It depicts the grief and confusion of an affair that beaks up a marriage. Keep writing and stay healthy:
Have a good rest of your week.

This is definitely a wowed poet. I love the interspersal of that famous quote. Thanks for using it in this poem.
Love so many phrases her but the last stanza is my fave with thr phrase "soldiers on."

    It warms my heart that you made a connection, especially to the last stanza as I rewrote it a half dozen times:)
