Poetry by Chris- My heart is mending & my mind is true, but my soul is still hurting...wouldn't yours too?

 Trauma-Bonded

Why cannot I heal,

the trauma bond was real,

my true love had cheated,

my heart severely defeated,

my family broken,

words can't be spoken,

help me & please be my guide,

to show me unconditional love I have inside,

help me get the betrayal off my mind,

why was she so unkind,

And to my daughter why cannot you feel,

I know, I understand the trauma bond is real. 😢💔❤️‍🩹

 

Betrayal

Once I thought things would be fine,

That I hoped I had my family forever in time,

 

Now that dream had been shattered,

Her betrayal left my heart & mind scattered,

 

All the memories & times we shared, 

For what happened I wasn't prepared,

 

My love wasn't enough to keep her near,

I realise now I've been used all those years,

 

Rather to talk and work through the mess,

Off she went for a new love to pursue & obsess,

 

Through temptation...no loyalty, respect or trust is left,

All the lying & deceiving had left me bereft,

 

Now our daughter won't speak to me,

For exposing her mother, a mistake I see,

 

Here I stand with no love from the family home,

Again I'll have to learn to live life alone,

 

My heart is mending & my mind is true,

But my soul is still hurting...wouldn't yours too?

💔❤️‍🩹

 

Good Friends

Good Friends, they come & go,

Some left behind & those yet to know,

 

A helping hand, a hug or a friendly smile,

People you meet & ones you known for a while,

 

The ones you have partied with for many years,

Or the ones you've wiped away each other's tears,

 

Like a secondhand family or friends you barely see,

They are in your hearts, they're special to me,

 

No matter how far apart & time unseen,

They are there for you, no matter where you've been,

 

Please cherish your friends no matter how few,

Because as you get older, gone are the ones you knew, 

 

I'm grateful for who I consider a friend,

I love you all till the very end.

 

❤ Please look after each other. ❤️

 

Rising Up from Negativity

After many months of hurt & hatred from every turn,

Life has given me a lesson to learn, 

 

Starting to think positive now that I'm free,

Breaking that trauma bond was hard on me,

 

I thought love had left me, so I reached deep inside,

And there was my heart bursting with pride,

 

I'm glad to be meeting some old & new friends,

Now to see the world through a different lens,

 

At last things are starting to go my way,

I've got a little secret that I cannot say,

 

Ready for new experiences to open my mind,

Especially when some people are so kind,

 

Just one more thing, I'll tell you a true fact,

If anyone loves me, I love you straight back.

❤️😊❤️

Brother

Brother you are about to change your life, for better & for good,

You have this road to walk, defeat those demons, like you know you should,

 

You'll be a better man once you've got through this,

Just remember afterwards, we can't go on the piss,

 

Keep smiling, joking and laughing while you heal,

Keep those spirits up, no matter how you feel,

 

Everyone's thinking of you, 

take all the time you need,

We know you can do this, 

we'll be here when you succeed,

 

Your kids will be waiting,  

patiently by the door,

Waiting for their daddy to come back, 

not to drink anymore,

 

You've got the rest of your life, 

to make some memories and dreams,

You've got your family behind you,

with love bursting at the seams,

 

Brother please remember while you are away,

We'll be thinking of you each and every day.

Y.N.W.A.

 

Forget About Love

When you are feeling down,

For giving all you've got,

Giving yourself fully to those you love,

To be gone in a shot,

 

Don't worry about being alone,

You have support around you,

With help from family and friends,

You'll be back to yourself, all fresh & new,

 

Take some time first by yourself,

To grieve the loss you feel,

The quicker you accept life goes on,

The quicker you will heal,

 

There'll be times when you are happy,

And times you'll feel sad,

But the love you will find,

Is inside you, like you've always had,

 

You're maybe getting older,

Thinking you'll never find love again,

But don't deprive yourself,

Of happiness until you find out when,

 

Till then, socialise & have a laugh,

Enjoy being single,

Go grab some friends, put on your smile,

And get ready to mingle,

 

Think positive thoughts & be kind to yourself,

Forget about your past strife,

All you need to know right now,

You'll get through this smidge of life.
