Cheating hurts me

I lose my faith

when trust is breached

and love is lost

I do not know what to do

I just sit and cry

bite my lips

and lose all might

moments like these often occur

making me wonder what life is really

is this love?

I thought of it otherwise

mills and boon I used to read

dreaming of my prince charming

reality was stark

hits me on the head

at moments like this

what does man really want?

money or just fun

do I hold no meaning?

like I used to be a darling to parents

old age is fast approaching

I am as alone now in soul

maybe it is for preparing

for a better life of tomorrow

all writers and artists are great

but their lives

are nothing to boast about

which is why they write or act or paint

the pain finds an outlet

and their words and works get acclaim.
