Stoicess’ Poem: Partner Left Me.

Of all the hard times one faces in their life,
it’s a breakup with a partner that brings so much strife.

You work hard to make a living to share with your other,
but when coming home one night, they tell you they are leaving to share their life with another.

You’re caught off-guard, and such announcements are always made,
when you’re tired, exhausted, … it’s been a really tough day.

You’ll find them at the kitchen table when you enter the door,
all dressed up as if they’re ready to go somewhere; they look so beautiful, how could you not adore?

“What’s going on?”, You ask, as you muster the courage to speak,
“I’m leaving you”, they respond – passing mere inches from you, with so much cologne they almost reek.

While they’re heading toward the front door, you ask, “Are we going to talk about this?”
“The person I truly love is waiting for me outside” they respond, “My Real Soulmate – My ONE who brings me much more bliss”.

They suggest you two talk later when you’re not so angry,
a fake accusation, a gaslighting trick of theirs that you are quite familiar with, frankly.

As the car lights drift away, you stand motionless, without any tears,
the actor having played their role so eloquently, you were left stunned, so engrossed, and simply being all ears.

Jesus in His Sermon on the Mount, said “God causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good”,
so you know the sun will rise as you decide to go about your day tomorrow as you should.

When the following morning arrived, reality had set in,
the emotions were unpredictable, for you were really torn up within.

You then forced yourself to perform the daily homework the Stoicess had assigned,
you found the courage to move forward as your mind became realigned.

For you realized you were still in control of the forthcoming decisions you would make,
remove your existence from this earth, continue in your misery, or use this as an opportunity to have a “Total Me” remake.

You thought about your value on this earth that God decided to have you placed,
thought about the other 100 million souls you had beat out to be here, so not to move forward and get through this mess would be a total waste.

You lost a beloved to whom you had given your heart,
but now you are free from the hands of the one who made it a blackened heart.

And as you return to the office the following day,
the news of your beloved’s departure, shared freely by them on their Facebook page,
caused several would-be suitors to stop by to console you in their apparent, but not your, dismay.

Yes, God’s sun rises on all, despite how some may act or be,
however, for you, it’s those forthcoming possibilities to keep your mind on, for they are the ones that always give much glee.
