Goodbye


They will not lie

They will not cheat

They will not harm

This is what we tell ourselves

I promise, I love, I will

We trust

We believe

We fall

This is what we do

I won’t, I’ll stop, I’ll do better

Over and over we find disappointment

You blame

You accuse

You  mistrust

In the end there is nothing left between us

Lies

Rumors

Brokenness

Something so beautiful turned ugly by your desire for others

You chose her over me

You chose substance over me

You chose lies over me

That is not love, trust or belief

This is lies, cheating, and harm

I will never forget you 
But it is time to let go 
For you, for me, and for the friendship we may one day have 
Goodbye
