Betrayal

Of the worst kind

By Marissa BendickPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

I love you

Deep in my bones,

In the very core of heart and soul.

You’ve told me once,

You’ve told me a million times,

That being apart

Is like waiting for a limb to grow back.

Your soul intertwined with my own

Your very essence,

Weaving into the fibers of my being.

I ache without you near,

My soul screams at the loss.

The audacity

The gaul

How dare you make me love you this hard?

How dare you leave me

Desperately awaiting your return?

Collapsing into myself,

A black hole

Where once I shined brightly.

You said forever.

You promised.

And yet,

Here I am.

Desperate for your touch,

Anguished without you.

But you chose this.

To leave me here,

In the home we created together,

While you run errands.

And buy groceries for our family.

Without me. Without. Me.

The betrayal stings, The deception hurts.

How I’ll ever heal from this, I do not know.
