The Betrayal

1.   The day seems promising

My heart keeps giggling.

As the birds flew higher the sky grew darker,

A storm for sure.

But not as aggressive as the one I feel in my heart.

Because I respected you, cherished you, trusted you even more than myself

Because I love you!!!

 

You were my pillar of hope,

My desire, my all in all

You were all I ever wanted, everything I ever wished for,

My love couldn’t be describe in any dimension,

Just as the river flourishes, so my heart twinkles for you.

All my life was about you…

Because I love you!!!

 

2. But I’m still here were you left me

The shock I had when you said “our relationship was ending”

I was still hopping that you would have a change of mind

But all that fell when you slam the door behind

I sat there quit and lonely, the hurt going viral in my body

From my heart to my veins, to my body system, then straight to my brain tasting so bitter like gravel.

I waited for minutes, hours, days, weeks, and months crying/Shedding tears, hoping I would one day wake up by the kiss of your lips on my forehead,

Starving myself, putting a pause to my career and making myself a laughing stalk.

Just because I love you!!!

 

3. The years, the tears, the fears,

The Halloweens and every occasion that we had celebrated

All swifted back to my memory like it was yesterday,

I flashed back through all you said.

Remembering just your face.

Going through all the pain.

With all of this I can’t believe that ‘I - still - care

But that is true, cause ‘I still do’

Because I love you!!!

 

4. I was upset not because you left me,

I was upset not because I was lonely

Or because you dumped or ignored me

But because of the reason for doing all that you did

“I do not love you anymore, ‘I’m sorry”

You said,

I felt that like a stab from the back, piercing through my mind, making a hole in my heart. And with an embrace of betrayal you hugged me and went away,

ignoring my plea and the tears on my face

What an act of treason. But still yet, my heart does not give a damn, all I want is you

I would do anything to win your love back

If I had the chance to,

But no, you were nowhere to be found

And so I cried dearly,

Asking why fate treated me so unfairly

I thought of committing suicide

But then there was a voice from inside

“I would forever be in your heart” that was your promise

And so that gave me a hope that you would come back to me

Someday somehow.

I would stay ready for that day

Because I love you!!!

So come back to me my love come quick your love is waiting…
