Saturday Symphony- Romance gone wrong!

Poetry, prompts

Jude is the host of Saturday Symphony

PONDEROUS THOUGHT

MIXED THEMES

Life is never just one thing. This week, we’ll be incorporating one of these two sets of paired themes;

  • Romance with horror
  • Nature with Fantasy

Choose one of the two pairings. Have fun with the challenge, and watch the magic happen.

Romance gone wrong

They met and fell in love

Wedded with family’s blessings

It was a lavish affair with all the trimmings

But love and romance died an early death

As the true nature of the husband soon raised its head

He was no prince in shining armor

Rather he was a vampire sucking happiness out of her life

Violence was his favorite pastime

But words were his weapon, not leaving a mark

She tolerated the mental abuse until she could

But enough was enough and she wanted out of this nightmare

Now she is alone and happy with her own company

Sworn off romance for good because for her

It’s a gamble that doesn’t pay off in the end

I am writing to express my opinion, share my experiences and to maybe provide some insight. My blog is addressing women at 50 ( but men are welcome to read my posts) ,their issues and the questions that come up at this stage in life. I don’t aim to teach, but to learn together.

  1. Very terse and ominous but unfortunately sadly true in many cases.
    It’s a good thing I read your blog Sadje because I don’t get your pingbacks, must be a glitch. You should be pasting your link just in case too.
    I loved this though. Deep and honest

    1. Thanks a lot Jude. You’re right I should have posted my link in your post. I will do it next time.
      This is a true account of love gone wrong. And it’s not rare to hear or know of such cases. Sad indeed.
