Betrayal Poem by Steph Rodricks

While I was young and carefree,
The first time I fell in Love,
I served it whole heartedly.

Time passed by,
Sacrifices and compromises took over,
Some where I wondered,
Would it be he, with whom I'd grow older?

Then came a time, situations worsened,
No one to talk and no one to Express,
So many feelings were suppressed.

Along came a blessing in disguise,
With all the happiness,
Giving me a reason to survive.

Broke all the ties which caused me pain,
And said to myself - Never again.

Often questioned what kind of love?
Then whispered a voice…
"A sweet blessing from above".

At once the emptiness faded away,
And brought me joy and laughter,
Every passing day…

Had moved on from all sorrows and pain,
Hoping I'd be smart if it happens again.

Strong winds came along,
You left me alone,
And pushed me away,
I cried, but you never asked me to stay.

You made a choice,
And it wasn't me.
Which will hurt till eternity.

We had a special bond,
Weakened because of my faults,
This time it's broken,
And everything seems at Halt!

Will move on from you,
As my past before,
Then I had you,
But no one anymore.

I acknowledge your love and gratitude,
For the time I Laughed,
But apologies for the times,
I made you cry.

What I asked for,
Was a little security!
Hoping you'd compensate
For the lies which came my way unexpectedly.

To my disappointment - I failed,
Once again feeling that pain,
Too hurt but felt it again.

I make myself understand,
You don't realize what I go through.
But when you refuse saying you do,
You throw me back into the blue.

If our bond mattered,
You'd choose me,
Instead you chose to disagree.

Travelled so far,
Ending my journey here,
Now can only cherish memories thereafter…

I've chosen to be immune,
I've chosen to go away,
For I will not stick around,
For another BETRAY…
