EMPOWERED

He emerged from the bedroom bags packed
Said to his young wife I’ll never be back
He deceived her trust and she was left broken
Because of the cruel words spoken
I never loved you, he went on to say
Not even for one minute of one day
I can’t live with you anymore
And he walked out the door
She sat there is complete distress
What had she done to cause this mess
She blamed herself and cried herself to sleep
And went into depression so deep
The next day she woke up EMPOWERED
After having slept for many hours
Realizing that she had given him her life
And had been nothing but a good wife
She picked herself up out of bed
Took a shower got dressed and said
I’m glad it’s over and the marriage is dead
I’ll go on living the way I please
Will never beg and plead on my knees
The next time I fall in love it will be
When someone is really in love with me
EMPOWERED

    Beautifully written. ALL WOMEN should realize that they do have options in their lives to be able to continue on after the Trash has been taken out, So to speak.

    Wayne, Thank you so much…And I have known men too who have
    been verbally abused and tolerate it..they should also head for the
    hills…Sally xxoo

    Oh this is my kind of story…empowerment, liberation…when women live on their own terms and not just by what should be! You are breaking my library of favs Sally…but I am not complaining :))
