Broken Woman


 It’s easy now for you to blame, 
To cast on me your weight of shame.  
You’ve forgotten the years I gave,  
Tending to you, strong and brave.  
When sickness took its heavy toll,  
I stood by you, heart and soul.

I was the shield when all seemed lost,  
Believing in you, no matter the cost.  
Through whispers, doubts, and bitter lies,  
I held your hand, dried your eyes.  
But now, in comfort, you’ve turned away,  
My pain and aches,irritate you today.

In my twilight years, I ask for care,  
A little kindness, a heart that’s fair.  
But now, I see you by their side,  
Those who mocked me, those who lied.  
I stand alone, betrayed by you,  
A broken woman, lost and through.
