For everything I need, I found inside of you.
For everything I want, I found beside you.
But a want cannot compete with foul words of betrayal.
Words depicting angst of the feeble-minded fed by the lies of the ill-hearted.
All too....much..to compare.
My soul and action and truth do not mask the accusation of adultery,
nor will it ever.
Therefore, I choose to be strong.
In a world in which, I confess, I will always choose the one I love,
I must choose what is best for my beloved.
And I am no-longer what is best.
Therefore, in choosing to be strong, I choose a life for you
A life of joy and devotion.
A life for you, without me.
