He Promised Me Unto Death Us Do Part

He Promised Me Unto Death Us Do Part

A Poem by Deborah Leah Krempa

He promised me until death us do part

Eventually, he broke my heart

 

Promises were broken as our vows were spoken

Recalling his lies & weak alibis

Oh why couldn't I see, he couldn't really love me

My thoughts go back to a time when I thought he was mine

I was mistaken, for there was another that took my place

She was an adultress of the worst kind, she blew my mind

Evil lurked in the silent hallways of my home, I was alone

Demon she was as she held him in her clutches

 

My husband was suppose to be my lover & my best friend

Escape me he did when he danced so romantically with her

 

Until death us do part, he promised me forever

No one knows the agony I endured, as he, she did lure

Time & again, he strayed out into the night with his w***e

I looked the other way as he snuck out our door

Life was a living hell for both of us and our children

 

Dancing with the devil, you dare not step down to his level

Enchanted by her aroma, he fell into a semi coma

As he cheated on me with her spell, we did not fare well

The enticing b***h was worse than any wicked old witch

He promised me until death us do part

 

Up until dawn, I paced the floor waiting for him to come home

So damn tired of living my life on the edge and alone

 

Desire in his eyes for me had dimmed, as she danced with him

Open my eyes I finally did, when I caught him with his heroin

 

Parting ways is such sweet sorrow they say

A junkie cares not about tomorrow, it's just that way

Rigs and foil papers, golden needles and silver spoons

The feeling of being uncomfortably numb
