A sin, not of one’s own making, leads to suspicion and disharmony. Can it be overcome?

Frustration.  Tears filling my eyes.

The words crashing on my ears:

Unable to believe we are here again.

                        *

My status has changed.

I have fallen from grace,

Never to be forgiven and restored.

                        *

It was you who left, who wanted out!

Seeking greener pastures?  I still don’t know.

But because of another, a Madonna no more.

                         *

Now always searching for cracks, for flaws.

Innocent words bent and twisted into something wrong.

The pedestal rubble beneath my feet.

                         *

Frustration.  My healing heart hurting again.

Sadness descends; a constant state of mind.

Will peace ever be restored?

    Well written. Makes me want to hunt the guy down and give him a punch in the nose–or a firm restraining order.

    Very nice poem peggy. I think you hit the nail on the head when you wrote “innocent words bent and twisted into something wrong” I have been there so many times. Trying to explain from my heart my true feelings. But only to have the words that I said be twisted into something that it was not. I like this poem very much.
