Betrayal
I thought I could trust you.
I believed we’d never be apart.
I even gave each of you
half of my heart.
But I was betrayed by him, the man I loved
but more importantly by you, my beloved best friend.
Had you been tricking me all along with a disguise?
Had our friendship been fraught with lies?
Seeing you two together naked on the floor,
I couldn’t even bring myself to walk out the door.
Agony clutched my soul,
pain turned my heart into a black hole.
Then my anger rose to the surface,
I know you definitely did this on purpose.
In an explosion of rage I challenged you to a fight,
But in the end I could not stand up to your might.
I walked away,
nothing left to say,
with my body beyond repair,
tears in my eyes from despair.
But when I looked back and you had disappeared,
I felt the hole in my heart get wider and deeper too.
And I realized too late that in the end
the one I missed wasn’t him but you.
