Thanks to Taylor Swift, I have these cringy videos to look back on and laugh about:
December Poetry Challenge: For My Starter Husband
This is my response to prompt #8:An event that turned out differently than planned

We were an odd couple to start out with-
a generation apart-only 9 years younger than my dad
but we still fell in love and made it work for several years
eventually exchanged vows and rings,raised 3 beautiful kids
but we always knew we werenβt meant to be each otherβs forever
at this realization-I went crazy and tried to find a new love story
but no one could stand me for long or treated me like a secret
and when all of them left, I took comfort in our friendship
understanding I needed to give respect until our legal ending
Without regrets and resentment in our unconventional love story
Iβll always love you, you will always my family
Poetry: Forgotten Anniversary
I wrote this in December 2018 when my husband forgot our 8 year anniversary. I guess I was a little salty and kind of still processing the breakup of our marriage.

He forgot our 8 year anniversary
I didnβt remind him because it didnβt really matter.
Hopefully, this time next year, we will be divorced.
There was no use in feeling sad or spilling tears
Over something that would end soon.
There was no use in feeling devastated over
Something that never should have happened.
Vows that should never have been taken.
Promises of love that were doomed from the beginning.
Empty words that were never believed in.
8 years of marriage; an institution we thought
would bind us for eternal life.
So that maybe the sting of resentment and neglect
wouldnβt break us apart.
He forgot our 8 year anniversary
Just like he forgot all of his promises to
βTry harderβ or βto changeβ
So I wouldnβt leave.
He forgot our 8 year anniversary.
And itβs fine.
You donβt celebrate something
That is already dead.
Poesia: Lo Siento
Here is the English version of this poem:
https://lifeonthebpd.com/2021/10/25/poetry-im-sorry/
Lo siento por el niΓ±o que eres
y el hombre que nunca serΓ‘s
Lo siento por haber enamorarme de ti
y no recibir el amor que merecΓa
Lo siento por creer en tu actuaciΓ³n de hombre bueno
Y aprender que el amor era una ilusiΓ³n
Lo siento que tu nunca sentiste mi desamparo
Y que para ti no mas fui otra inutil
Lo siento por todas las lΓ‘grimas derramadas
y todo el amor que te di
Pero mΓ‘s que todo lo siento por el dia que te aparecistes en mi vida
para ser otro recuerdo lleno de amargura

I thought nothing could ruin our love
now everything we once were is lost
because once again I was wrong, wrong, wrong
I wasnβt aware of your secret lust filled missions
youβre another confused boy
and to you I was another toy
You were another tourist
in my book of love and lust
Poesia: El Amor y El Odio
Here is the English version of this poem:
https://lifeonthebpd.com/?p=4784
Fue el destino cruel
hacerte cruzar la lΓnea
Entre amor y odio
Fuistes una desperdicia de tiempo
Nunca sabras
lo bueno que pudimos ser
tu amor era solo una pantalla de humo
Hasta pensaba que tenΓamos
Para siempre
QuerΓa creer que tu eras un amor verdadero
pero tu eras otro βlo que seaβ
Y yo fui otra falda
No hay nada mΓ‘s que decir
es tiempo de olvidar todo lo que fuimos
o pudimos ser
Poetry: Love and Hate
So I had forgotten to post this poem from the great breakup of 2001.

I guess it was fate
For you to cross that thin line
Between love and hate
You were really a waste of time
Now youβll never know
How good you and me couldβve been
Or how much I really loved you so
But your love was only a smoke screen
I even thought we had forever
because I wanted to believe you were true
but I guess you were another whatever
and I was another one youβd screw
Now thereβs nothing left to say
and itβs time to forget everything
Poesia: Gracias
Here is the English Version of this poem:
https://lifeonthebpd.com/2021/11/28/poetry-thank-you/
Gracias por hacerme saber
que estaba con una desgraciado infeliz
Gracias por quitar la venda de mis ojos que yo tenΓa
pensando que Γ©l era solo mio
Gracias por decirme que mi amorcito
me llenaba de mentiras
Y por ultimo gracias por quitarmelo de encima
el nunca mereciΓ³ alguien tan buena como yo
Poesia: Inocencia Perdida

EscribΓ este poema en 2006 cuando pensaba en mi juventud y como mi sensualidad siempre fue algo polΓ©mico y tabΓΊ.
Mi inocencia se perdiΓ³
Cuando sentΓ esa rara sensaciΓ³n
No era las mariposas
De las que todos hablaban
Si no–
El calor especial
Entre mis piernas
Ese calor que yo
SentΓa al ver mi segundo novio
con apenas 16 anos
Mi sensualidad
Se me escapaba
de mis manos virtudes
Que diablos importa la inocencia,
Cuando el calor de los dos nos llevaba
a un placer ilimitado!
Poesia: Primer Amor
EscribΓ este poema en el 2016 cuando una ola de nostalgia me visito y me puse a pensar en mi primer amor.
La inocencia del primer amor
Se queda como un tatuaje en tu mente
Nunca podrΓ‘s olvidar cΓ³mo se sintiΓ³
Ese primer beso nervioso
O como buscaban rincones escondidos
Para mostrarse amor
Nunca se olvida la gran emociΓ³n
Que llevas dia por dia al verlo
Y nunca, nunca
olvidarΓ‘s el primer amor
Que falleciΓ³ con su repente desamor

Poesia: Mi Deseo
Here is the English version of this poem:
https://lifeonthebpd.com/2021/11/29/poetry-i-wish-i-could/
Deseo olvidar todo lo que vivimos
el amor que hicimos, las risas que compartimos
Deseo hacerte ver el daΓ±o que me hiciste
Deseo hacer sentir mi agonΓa intensa y aguda
Deseo herirte y lentamente destruirte
Deseo que esto no me importara mΓ‘s
pero la vida no es justa
Poetry: Shadows
I wrote this poem sometime around 2014 or 2015. I was feeling nostalgic about a former flame I had been obsessed with. This tends to happen a lot with me. Letting go of my past is hard at times.

Shadows of my past
Envelop my future
Everywhere I go
Time has passed
I am older
Harsh experiences
Have made my cynical
And embrace
My mediocrity
But still
Shadows of the past
Envelop my future
Everywhere i go
Iβm happy that you found
Your idyllic happiness
With someone else
And living the life
You always wanted
But shadows of our past
Envelop my future
Everywhere I go
I love my children
I love my spouse
But for one more moment
Of us
I would leave them
And everything else behind
Shadows of our past
Envelops my future
Everywhere I go
Poesia: Otro Mas

https://lifeonthebpd.com/2021/11/19/poetry-i-thought/
Fuistes otro amor falso
otro lleno de perfidio
pretendiendo tener buenas intenciones
me causaste una desconfianza profunda
Espinas de odio crecieron en mi
aprendiendo que era otra falda mΓ‘s
fue una verdad difΓcil de tragar
Ahora gritarΓ© todo mi miseria y rencor
Happy Halloween! What’s scarier than a regular bitch?

Poesia: Orgullo
Here is the English Version of this poem:
https://lifeonthebpd.com/2021/11/30/poetry-pride/
Nunca sabrΓ‘s del dolor
Que sentΓ por tu abandono
nunca veras
las lagrimas que llore por ti
nunca descubrirΓ‘s
como me llenaste con agonΓa
Porque soy demasiado orgullosa
para admitir que fui una babosa
Por que tengo demasiada dignidad
para estar llena de miseria por tu culpa
Por tengo demasiado respeto
Para convertirme en un desastre
