Comment from nomi338
Many of us at one point or another find ourselves in a situation that is not in our best interests. We should not waste time being stubborn and refusing to take the good advise of friends and family. The best thing that we can do is to get the hell out, no matter who encouraged us to do it.

Good for you. May your future be filled with good times, good friends and a special someone who makes each day better than the one before. If you never, ever find him, be comforted in knowing that you alone are enough as long as you can be happy in the absence of stress, heartbreak and worry.
Comment from Judvan2
Very nice. I like the transition from material to emotional. Sometimes they are wrapped up together in our feelings. You had a big story here and could always expand on it to show more of your journey. Good luck!

Comment from Pullmanspb
When I read its title and began the poem, I thought I'd be reading another maudlin, feeling sorry for yourself, poem and was I so wrong. It ends with strength and the writer's ability to move on and move out.
How invigorating.

Thank you, Steven, for your vote of confidence and for reading this poem. It is true that I am not sitting around feeling sorry for myself. The pain is over and I have some lingering sadness but put on a happy face and go on. We need to live while we are alive!! livelylinda

Comment from Eternal Muse
I am the unfortunate one not to be privy to what this was about, but I can feel the bitterness and writer's raw pain sipping through page. False love... I guess, there is real love and false love. I have to ponder on that (lol). But like with everything false and "plastic", this cannot be good.
A horrid picture, looks like a torture chamber.

Hi Teresa: Yes, this really happened. Kathy waited five months to tell me that she was married. She and Charlie have been married 10 years. I lived with them for five months. Each month was worse than the last. I was being used for the money that I contributed to the household and the lies got worse and worse. My heart is just running cold right now. I now live two hours north of them, back in Gainesville with a couple of mature guys who go to my church. I feel safe there and I'm comfortable. Long story but Kathy and Charlie frightened me on several occasions. I don't trust them as far as I can see them. Linda
Comment from apky
I simply adored how you wrote about love and deceit,
how the "wronged one" has this tendency to hold on to
all the pain and disappointment instead of realising that:
that she was just a cheat
and no feat
could reclaim a false love
moving from pain to anger
life moves on free of guilt
breathing fresh air once more
hear me roar!
as I walk out that dirty door
Thanks for the joy I felt reading this.

Comment from Bill O'Bier
I loved your poem about lies and deceit. You know lying is a cooperative act. If we think about it -a lie has no power whatsoever by its mere utterance. Its power emerges when someone else agrees to believe it.

Bill: unfortunately, I tend to believe people are usually telling the truth because I do and see absolutely no reason to lie about everything. Thanks for reading and commenting. livelylinda
