Taken

What I have lost

Its been taken from me
My Hope
My dreams
My Life
My Soul

Its been taken from me
My control
My self-respect
Even my regrets

It has all been taken from me
My flesh
My blood
My last once of self-control

You have taken from me
My sons
My daughter
My dying boys laughter

You truly stole it from me
Everything I have
Everything I am
Everything I was

You took control of me
My dreams
My feelings
My inner dealings

You have cunningly swindle
My very being
My spiritual meaning
My kind feelings

You have left me with nothing
Bare
Naked
Hungry

You made sure I have nothing left
You robbed me of my rest
Even the chance to protest

You only left me
With a heart
Rotting in my chest

Author's Note

You never know what you can steal from a person, unless you are humble enough to listen deeper then your ears. This is a lesson no one close to me has learned. So I suffer.

very good poem

[R E Tree]

The poet has a sense of being worthless in this poem at the first stanza of reading it makes it understandable. I like the picture because straight away the mist in the picture makes you feel lost because the poet is lost. The poet also has a loss of identity throughout the poem and is well expressed.

Wow. This was beautiful. I felt your pain and suffering. Where you divorced? I know when people are divorced they usually are totally screwed over, and this poem shows what you have suffered. I'm sorry for your sadness that you have to be through.

Divorce surely rips to shreds people's lives. The damage goes so much deeper than the natural. It touches the spiritual. Kudos on a poem that effectively explains the horrors. Deeply heartfelt.
