The walk up the lane, tortuous, painful,
the smirk on his face ate my brain.
A love I thought...perfect and without failure,
no warnings, last minute blow to my spirit.
We danced under the light of the moon,
like two doves cuddled together in accord,
clinging together as if we were one,
hours passed...kissing and holding inseparable.
I surrendered my heart...my soul,
gave him my treasure to fulfill our commitment.
I submitted on his promise of eternal love,
never to abandon or be disloyal to our feelings.
He walked away without saying a word,
only a snicker left me knowing it was goodbye.
I waited a year to give in to the man I loved,
he walked away after our first union.
He stole my virginity...left me insulted,
ashamed and sickened of my gullible decision.
I felt disgraced and discarded like a harlot
alone to face the music of her own choice.
This didn't happen over night...
we knew each other for over a year.
He waited all this time to kill my spirit,
left me in uncertainity and without an option.
I walk up the lane...lacking a conclusion,
winds brush my heart with a cold awakening,
a double-crosser took my flesh...
a slime ball without a conscience.

I can soooo relate to this kind of emotion dear and talented Barbara. This poem seems, to me, like an emotional cathartic. Very personal and filled with powerful imagery and simile. Well done!
