 A New Woman

TRUTH KARMA

By French Fries, www.PoetryPoem.com/poetry999    Unlock all Features - Upgrade to Poetry Prime

A wealthy opportunity
An offer to not refuse
untouched and so pure
Innocent and clean
Unopened
So you hand him your child
Unknown to the facts of what you did know
So many years divorced for the reason you never dared to tell
You was OK to give her to a man already hitched
so many tears she cried, a divorce is no longer closed
She is open to rumors but handled so well she did
She did stand her ground
You knew all along but said nothing
How the lies killed her but the betrayal is even worse
Broken promises and hearts
Open wounds and scars and cracks that cannot be filled
What she hoped her mother would be is impossible
Its impossible
There laying on the cold hard floor is her heart
Used and abused and completely dead to ever trust
You have killed any trust she had left
You destroyed any confidence she may have ever had
What did you think you could get out of your child
Was this all because of money and did you hope they'd treat you like a queen
when they had their own lives?
Here she is dreading every opportunity that comes her way
You were her mother and you did not protect her
You did not shield her you wanted her married for your own benefit
How could you be so cruel and for  daughter to be so forgiving is a rarity
A lie so well hidden so well exposed from a threat unable to escape the wrath of a man short fused and protective
It should have been your role and not his
He is not even her blood but he feels as though he is because of the marriage into the family and his kids partly belonging to our side
He loved her like a sister and protected her like a daughter
May thy Lord give him strength and forgive all of his sins
This poor girl hadn't a clue until almost half a century
This was her lucky escape or it would have been a decade too late
