Difficult recovery from betrayal58 total reviews
Comment from Sis Cat
Excellent poem. It is deep and painful in its eloquent, well phrased description of hurt that causes one to withdraw into a cocoon of sadness. Poem reminds me of the poems my mother wrote about the difficulty she had recovering from beyrayal. Your poem aches with honest, raw emotions based upon experience. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Boogienights
I liked this poem. Very well written poem with a lot of emotion. There is a sadness to the words that almost made me cry. Being alone and suffering is a familiar subject that many can relate to.

Recovery can sometimes be rough and long especially when the pain was so deep. Such a strong message in so little words. Thank you for sharing

Comment from pome lover
betrayal is cowardice in its worst form. If this is biographical, I am sorry. Your words are very expressive and indeed paint a mournful picture. Lets hope not only for a recovery but a happy one with positive plans for the future.
Your words are very descriptive: "cocoon of sadness," and I love "softly cradled, Will not fall." very good.

This is a very powerful poem you have written. In my heart I hope this is not written from life experience, but I fear it has been. You do a wonderful job with your words describing the heartache. It is clearly felt as I read the poem. The artwork completes this wonderful work.

Linda,
More than the other poem I just read, this speaks to how you feel about the break-up. So there must have been many good times and many good memories. Take those with you and close the door on the rest. All things work together. Be strong. Take courage. You can handle this. Go forth and conquer!

robyn: it lasted for nine months . . .the first 4 1/2 months were wonderful and the next 4 1/2 months went straight to hell! The lies became more/worse/obvious. It was quite horrid and I left fearing for my life. I am safe now and processing the entire mess. The pain has abated but a sadness prevails. Thanks for reading and for your support. livelylinda

A good description of how it feels to be in that deep, dark place where only you dwell...alone. Very profound. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Betrayal of the heart is the hardest pain to recover from, it takes a long time to trust again. This is a sad poem, if it's about you, Linda, I'm really sorry you are having to go through it. He doesn't deserve you, is all I can tell you, you're better than him. Big hugs, my friend. xx Sandra

Comment from Aussie
There are more fish in the sea. Ones that are worthy of thee. All of us have been hurt by someone, somewhere. The human self does bounce back and you will meet someone who is worthy of loving.

Aussie: thank you for reading and commenting. Yes, I could love again but at age 69, time is running out to find that real love for which I have been searching my entire life. But, I never give up hope. livelylinda

Age shall not weary you, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning have a Latte instead! I'm 72 next month! All my loves are dead or missing. I prefer animals instead, they are loyal and don't hurt you (emotionally) I love you though! XXK

A heartfelt piece that tells of love gone bad. Recovery is tough. Disappointment and heartbreak takes time to heal, but it does in the end. Take heart!
