I now understand your comments to me Linda. First there is shock and then comes the rage that can stay with you for a long time. I understand quite vividly what it is like and the pain of not only being betrayed but shut out. Actually, I think you've toned this one down from what you are really feeling but sometimes control is a good thing. Just wait patiently but keep your high, personal standards. They will be your saving Grace.

"False Love", is an extremely well-written and thought-provoking piece. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. You KEEP WRITING and I'll keep reading.

Many would be able to empathise and relate to this. Some can do nothing but offer broken promises as they never had an intention of keeping them in the first place.

With that said, the receiver of the faux promise believes and hangs on every word, often giving the benefit of the doubt...

to a point!

Yes, I heard you ROARRRR!

Well written!

Cheers P

Hey there Linda
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

This makes it clear that he'll remember this and hopefully gain wisdom from it. It is a hard lesson for us guys

I like the simple and raw statements which start with the tangible broken promises and then the heart affected by a "false love." It's time to "roar" and heal from the hurt. Good use of strategically placed rhymes.

This must be a farewell to a selfish mother and grandmother. Sometimes it is hard to tell where one person's selfishness ends and another begins. Correct, sometimes
there is no substitute for walking away. Fivers.

We as humans never learn and live in hope that someone we care for will change, but it never happens and then suddenly we realise that all the lies warned us, but we were not listening, I could identify with these words, love Dolly x

Hello Linda. I think most of us know a little something about this. It's awful when you tell the truth and still perceived as untrue. You poetically gave this situation a be gone and did it beautifully. I know I throw out music but in your case it says it better than I personally ever could. Beautifully expressed my friend. xoxo Kiwi
