Comment from Dean Kuch
Yes, that's how sociopaths are wired, Linda. Who knows why...besides their therapists, of course.
Better to get out while the gettin's still good.
Some linger in sociopathetic <--(spelling intentional there) relationships for years.
What a waste of time and energy.
Thanks heavens the dirty door in question wasn't chained and dead bolted.
Very well done, expressive and emotionally charged.
Thank you so much for sharing.

I liked this one too so I pumped it! lol Your arrangement here is very creative. Well chosen words are excellent. The theme is strong. Your feelings are expressed well. Your arrangement looks very nice. The flow is smooth.
There was no SPAG, no typos, no room for improvement.
I look forward to seeing you again.
Love you,

Comment from smbau
You have guided the reader to the intent of the poem. It talks about false love, lies and heating. From poem's content, you describe a lady who cheats on your grandson. The poem has a betrayal tone. Noticed some rhymes and you used the picture to advance your analogy of the poem. All that glitters is not gold.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem. We cannot trust anybody these days. Everyone we deal with have a hidden agenda usually for their benefit and definitively not for your good.

In life many times we have to just walk away from those who would lie and cheat. To begin to breath again after the pain is truly a blessing.. I enjoyed this peoem very much as it has a powerful message to those who have or are being cheated on. Patricia

Comment from moongirlwriter
Wow, what a grim picture of love. . . but at some point maybe all false love ends up like that, broken promises, deceit and then cheating with no wins for anyone. And, when you can walk out the open door and reclaim your independence and freedom from the chains of love, I think it is like a breath of fresh air. . .and never looking back. If it were not like that, then perhaps, the relationship is still not finished.
Well written and I am unable to improve with any suggestions. Thank you for sharing your work.

Comment from Mustang Patty
It sounds as though you had a rough time of it. I wish you hadn't had to experience the pain caused by someone, but I'm glad you are able to express your anger in poetic form,

Comment from Possummagic
I can't quite make out what is written on the door just that it is dirty as you state. Great poem about betrayal and lies and deceit. How do you ever move on. Do you ever truly recover?

Possummagic: thank you for reading and commenting. I keep an emotional "garbage can" deep in my soul in which I throw all those unpleasant memories. The lid is affixed tightly and securely so that it doesn't leak out and interfere with the rest of my life. livelylinda
