"Despair" was powerful, sir.

In all of my years here, the one thing that never ceases to amaze me is just how hard infidelity hits people.

NoThanksForTheMemories, will the novel be shared or will it stay secret. I like word smithing too!

If I'm lucky, it will be published (I have 3 other novels to my name already). Unfortunately, even if that does come to pass, I can't share the info here without breaking anonymity. The novel doesn't directly cover infidelity. Instead, the main character's fiance dies, and I drew on my heartbreak and sense of loss to write her experience.

Unhinged, thank you! It wasn’t as hard to write because it was just the pain pouring out of me.

I know infidelity hits everyone hard but it’s absolutely devastating to some folks like me.

NoThanksForTheMemories,

I think that’s awesome and an excellent approach to your novel!

Hey everyone, some great and insightful poems being shared.

For a few years after D-day I would have terrible dreams of my wife’s affair partner and her having sex that was grandiose compared to her and I. I could not compete with my imagination. I didn’t think I’d ever delete him from our bed, but with time and a lot of soul searching, I did. However, I wrote this poem when I was in the thorned thicket. It was upon my re-reading it and analyzing it that I realized I was going to have to figure my way out of this! Needless to say, I’m far away from this point in time.

Dream’s Razor

Danger lies in sleeps false comfort
From shadowy corners it creeps
A thickening fog of memories
Two hands can’t push away

Tussling, rustling, tossing
As dream’s razor slides,
Cutting from the inside
Leaving scars, I hide

Great poem Asterisk! I think a lot of us can understand perfectly!
