a promise
made together
a vow for eternity
with the one
you call destiny
not knowing
what the years may bring
where life may lead you both
or how it will end
but his words
made you fall
to your knees
tears in your eyes
and a broken heart
he was your better half
bitter through time
leaving you bruised
and bleeding
his mistress
his last breath
your destiny
the finale
was unexpected

Hi, Beauregard!
..I didn't know that I could write something people can relate to, which honestly I myself have not experienced yet..but this things do happen, like the one you sited here...scares us to fall in love, and love does makes us do things that are unexpected..which is sometimes scary too..
thanks for the honest opinion..
..I seem to feel that it lacks something, but I certainly am not sure about it..but i'll try to re-read it again and think about that uncertainty..
I really like it
I love to see that darkness and the story is very well constructed. BRAVA!

And a Heart Broken In half
the hunter leaves
the story tragic
the rain falls
and dampens tears
the fingers clench
in desperate hurt
in pain
I like love gone bad
stories
like a shoot out of "Want me"
we end up just getting the ricochet
the mortal wound
and living
is the darkness
but always there is light
a hero
heroinne
somewhere
"his mistress
his last breath
your destiny"
love that!..
sounds very intense
and focused
thanks for the input!
..there are events in our lives, where we sometimes write the opposite.. or get inspired from tragic love stories that do happen in realty..

With Beau's comment this is completely special.
How little we know those we marry when very young,
we live to regret it unless we are terribly lucky and find the right one first.
How little we understand ourselves too,
until we sit there contemplating one's escapades in old age.
Never done with love of course not.
Well written poem.

thank you!
..i certainly agree
when love comes
at a young age,
the right age and
at a certain age..
but we'll never know
where love strikes us,
unless we understand
ourselves more,
before we freely fall
in love..

Firstly welcome to Neopoet and I hope that your walk with us here will be a great experience..
This piece I like it wove a story of love that didn't last but told in a way that held us to the last word.
We have many workshops here for you to extend your works, and later I would love to see a rewrite of this one after you are with us for a while.
Have a great time here, Yours Ian.T
thanks Ian! I do hope to
thanks Ian! I do hope to read & to learn more from everyone..

Your title ''I do'' works. 'Saying I do is meant forever, but seldom is. I thought you did a good job expressing the pain encountered when the one you love emotionally checks out then physically walks out. Good write hope to read more of your good work.
