Love Poem: Betrayal

Betrayal

Cuts like a knife
Destroyed my life
Now i’ll never
Be your wife

You played your games
For 20 years
Whilst i grew old
And felt the fears
A lonely life
Brim full of tears.
A cruel encapsulation.

You are free
And i am not
So now you’ve gone
What have i got -
Absolutely nothing.

I waited like you told me to
Believed in you through and through
But then what did you go and do?
Total annihilation,

Rejection i can handle
Even hatred too
But it’s such a bitter pill
When it comes from you.

I did not like the drama
Of your last goodbye
You chose humiliation 
In the public eye

You know the real truth
Of who and what i am
And i always thought
That you'd come up with a plan

All I've ever wanted
Is to be respected
It seems to me that all you’ve done
is make sure i’m rejected.

I just pray that somewhere
There’s still someone who cares
For worthless i am not
Despite your fanfares.
