Betrayal

You or My Fate?

By Meena Maya RaiPublished 2 years ago 2 min read

In shadows cast, a trust did break,

A bond once strong, now heart's at stake.

Betryal's bitter, silent cry,

As you or fate, I question why.

In shadows cast, I ponder deep,

Betrayal's wound, a secret keep.

Did you forsake, or fate conspire,

To set my heart and soul on fire?

As time unwound, our paths entwined,

In love's grasp, our hearts aligned.

But slowly, whispers crept and spread,

A serpent's tongue, deceitful thread.

Promises whispered, vows so sweet,

Now shattered, lies and deceit.

You, a love, or destiny's hand,

I stand alone on shifting sand.

I wonder now, where truth resides,

Within your words oe fate's tides.

A question lingers, a haunting thought,

Has love and trust been dearly bought?

In darkness deep, a wound concealed,

The truth unveiled, the pain revealed.

You or my fate, I'm left to choose,

In this betrayal, I must lose.

Yet from the ashes, I must arise,

With wiser, stronger, open eyes.

No matter who, or what may fade,

I'll heal the scars that betrayal made.

As I traverse this path unknown,

Betrayal's seeds in my heart sown.

Was it your choice, or fate's cruel twist,

That led to the trust we both dismissed?

In contemplation, I find no rest,

Betrayal's weight upon my chest.

Did you conspire, or fate conspire,

To set our relationship on this pyre?

Betrayal, a mirror, shows its face,

Reflecting truths we can't erase.

Was it you who chose this trecherous road,

Or destiny's plan, as the story's code?

I search for answers, in shadows dwell,

A tale of love turned to a farewell,

You or fate, the blame to assign,

In betrayal's cold embrace, I pine.

Betrayal's lessons, harsh and cruel,

Yet from this darkness, I'll fuel

My strength to rise, to stand once more,

Despite the wounds that cut so raw.

In times, perhaps, forgiveness finds a way,

To mend the trust that did decay.

But now, in this moment's bitter end,

I question you, I question my fate, dear love.

So, as I navigate this lonely shore,

Betrayal's sting forevermore,

I'll choose to heal, to let love prevail,

No matter if it was you or fate's dark trail.

For life's a journey, filled with strife,

But in forgiveness, we find new life.

Whether you or fate, the cause may be,

In the end, it's forgiveness that sets us free.

The tale of betrayal, in shadows cast,

Will fade with time, as we move past.

In the depths of hurt and endless debate,

I'll rise above, embracing a brighter fate.
