To The Woman My Husband Left Me For

You will probably think that these words are going to be poisonous and filled with phrases such as

“You deserve each other” and “I hope he cheats on you too.”

I admit, I did consider penning a hateful letter;

I could have posted it through your letter box among with a pack of maggots, if I wanted to.

But it is said that great poets write from the heart…

So I hope that he treats you like the Princess every woman wants to be treated like

And that he holds you close when you cry.

I hope he lets you pick the movie sometimes

And that he doesn’t stay fixed on the TV screen throughout the entire thing.

I hope that he lets you have a say in where you dine when you go out to dinner

And that he doesn’t get annoyed at you when you burn his food.

I hope that he holds your hand whenever you go out

And that he takes you to see the sunset once in a while.

I hope that he means it when he tells you that he loves you

And that he listens to you when you have something difficult to tell him.

I hope that he tells you how beautiful you are every day

And that he doesn’t comment on how many calories are in whatever you are eating.

I hope that he doesn’t get stuck when choosing a gift for you because he knows exactly what you like

And I hope that he doesn’t accidentally give you a gift meant for another woman.

I hope that he doesn’t ignore you after making love

And that he doesn’t disappear for 3 nights after a fight.

I hope you stay together long enough to reach your bronze wedding anniversary

And most of all, I hope that he doesn’t cheat on you too.

You are very magnanimous, can't say I would feel that way myself under the same circumstances!

This poem is not about me. I wrote it from someone else's point of view, but instead of writing the cliche nasty letter, I wanted to try a different tactic :)

Very moving and filled with such emotion. I was really taking on the feelings of this person. Very powerful poem!

[Laura Harrison]

Thanks. I'm actually surprised at how well this poem turned out, because I don't normally write about things that haven't actually happened to me, but I like it :D

I know what you mean . Its hard to write about stuff if it isnt based off yourself in some type of way . But you did good on this . i like it! lol

[Laura Harrison]

I think it's because it's easier to write about your own feelings than someone elses, if you know what I mean haha

[Sarah Lynn]

I totally agree .
