Chain: He wore a new gold chain around his neck It was the sign that ended all respect On the links a wedding ring hung in shame She went back to her father’s name With full disregard for her vows Now he is the victim of her scows The ring rest just above his heart and chest Now a symbol, “dead love without a quest”. “I’m not the man you think I am.” “You’re not the man you think you are.” “It was your father who abandoned you.” This undecided love made her reject And blind to any mutual respect Now her revenge is on him, “It’s true” And all these years she felt this hurt And now his love she must pervert Refusing to face what is the fact This is a drama just putting on an act And the children feel the pain Not knowing who’s to blame. She stopped loving her heart grew cold She put all her love and his on hold Said, “I needed my space.” She didn’t know how to face Her Identity had faded Now she needed time to heal “She feels she was betrayed.” Now she’s off to find something real. Someone else to fill the void So In order to avoid Still wearing the same shroud While living in the same cloud. the voice:    Poetry on the Move: 5
