Lived without your love for nine years
You came back after cheating on me
as if the years had erased your offense
against me, once your faithful husband.
I learned you cheated on your paramour
too, not surprised, bad habits prevail.
Fool me once, never twice, won’t roll
the dice on bad bet broken trust.
I wish you well in your future romances.
Maybe there’s a lesson here for you.
Maybe someday you’ll become truer
Because of your mistakes with me and him.
As for me, I’m nine years better off
with never having to be with you again.

Age 80. Cancer survivor since 3 years ago. Work out 3 times a week. Ride my exercise bike 2 hours a day. Live a solo reclusive life. Retired a year ago from working with the elderly in a nonprofit. Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)
