From January 2023 the man I thought I knew and cared about me, and his mistress who I never knew existed embarked on a campaign to destroy my life. I like to joke and say at times they worked together, then at others they took turns to give each other a break. I don't believe in attacking other women unnecessarily but I make an exception for my ex's mistress. I guess my naivity gets the better of me at times, but I never expected a woman who did not know me, to attack me solely based on what a man she hardly knew told her. I went from feeling sorry for her knowing she was now under the control of my abusive ex to feeling indifferent. I am on my road to recovery, and these poetry were my salvation. The only way I could express my feelings towards two people who knowingly hurt me. They are raw unbridled rage induced but heartbreaking expression on an earth shattering moment in my life.

Around January 2023 my then partner started a campaign of abuse triggered by the affair he had just started. I felt I was falling, I expected to hit the ground with a thud but I never did. My mind was in a constant state of confusion.Did he love?Did he hate me?Did he ever love me?Had he always resented me?Why couldn't he just leave if he was unhappy. A man who claimed to love me watched me break down over his affair and abuse towards me but showed me no empathy. In fact, the abuse escalated... I was drowning while he watched, his eyes dead. I was in such a fog mentally, I couldn't see my way out. So I wrote poetry to express what I was going through.
