Truth and Consequences

By BetaWolfinVA

Raven has spoken
has told my wife that i have
been with her texting
-
many months has she
been sending her messages
asking what i can't
-
on the occasion
of our anniversary
she found the message
-
misplaced in Facebook’s
"other" as she knows raven
not, much fireworks
-
finally blocked now
until earth-mother Gaia
allows me to text
-
only samwise now
remains unaware Raven
and i have texted
-
samwise has reason
to despise my shattering
when last raven left
-
it is to samwise
that i most want to speak and
raven fears words from
-
a marriage open
and a man not normally
jealous, except my
-
passive aggressive
self-hating melt down that was
quite spectacular 
-
it is forgiveness
i require from samwise
for my reactions 
-
when he tore my soul,
my Raven, from me while I
saved Porcelain Doll
-
Once Raven was gone,
Porcelain Doll was allowed
to shatter, more shame
-
only question is
why compelled to apology
for wrongs long since past
-
turn enemy friend
Gaia's suspects that I
would wish Raven free
-
I think not as I
have once Told Raven no when
she said for my needs
-
that she would leave her
beloved, if then i had
left porcelain doll
-
my divorce only
came after her marriage to
her belov'd samwise

Author's Note:

The aftermath of Raven outing my Texting to her after i had already confessed to Gaia, and promised to stop. odd that i placed simple friendship above a marriage... ohh yeah, Gaia found the messages a few days before our anniversery.

    Powerful work...I felt much pain and anguish in the path to reform. Hard not to get caught up in my own life as I read through it..it took a few extra passes to really appreciate because it stirred up some emotions I had buried some time ago. Thank you for sharing

    Thank you very much for liking this, Here is hoping that i find catharsis in poetry... Bleed a few thousand stanzas and all is forgiven? Scholar
