She weeps after you,
The selfish man
Who left her.
She falling down
A deep, dark pit of misery
As she yearns
For your comforting touch.

I'm stronger than her,
The sobbing woman
You left behind.
I'm standing tall and proud
As I glare
Into your spineless eyes.

She leans on me
As the support
That holds her together.
I stay strong and solid
For her sake,
And for mine.

I am stronger than her,
The woman who broke
When you left her.
My body does not give into
The tears that escape
My Heart.

I know I am stronger than her,
The woman who wants you back,
Because I kept my chin up,
And did not keen or cry
When it was I who was left by you,
You selfish, spineless man.
Insperation is like a shower; it always wears off. That's why it's recommended daily.

Love the emotion behind this! Kudos to you because I'm not usually a poetry person but the more time I spend in this forum the more I'm being converted...

I particularly like the repetition of "spineless"....its a great word that evokes such emotion.

I find your word choice brilliant and it flows really well!

"The trouble with Borrowing another mind was, you always felt out of place when you got back to your own body, and Granny was the first person ever to read the mind of a building. Now she was feeling big and gritty and full of passages. 'Are you all right?' Granny nodded, and opened her windows. She extended her east and west wings and tried to concentrate on the tiny cup held in her pillars."
