there is an underworld hiding in relationships
like the place of departed souls in hades
it’s weakness
maybe he didn’t mean to hurt you
or abuse your trust
but he did
his deeds were intentional
his needs, desires, and wants came first
like you didn’t matter
his love is an illusion
a lie you can’t believe in anymore
I Write Her 
Beautiful, true and sad. There’s no room for selfishness in a relationship.

Relationships like this are so unfortunate, Susi. The mental scaring can last a lifetime.

The most important relationships enduring that kind of trauma certainly can have that impact. If only some humans acted better. :( Thanks, Eugenia!

A very true and hard hitting message some relationships are like this. Totally one sided.

This poem cuts deep Susi !! exposing the hidden fractures in love where trust turns to shadows. The raw truth here is haunting: some wounds are carved by choices, not accidents. The illusion of love shatters, leaving only the echo of betrayal. Powerful and piercing.
