I Loved You Deeply – A Tanka

I loved you deeply

Only to be cast aside

As I showed my age

Tossed away like an old shoe

Worn thin by many miles

      It is sad, no one should ever have to be treated that way. I know they (whomever “they” are) say that “what goes around comes around”, but sadly I’m never around to see it happen.

        me neither. I am skeptical sometimes. I see ‘bad’ people prosper and keep going strong and the ‘good’ die young or suffer. Well not all but too many.

        Unfortunately this is the way it has always been and will likely always be, sad, but true.

      I find it sad when this happens and unfortunately it happens far too often.
