Betrayed Again

Betrayed again ~~~~~~~~~~~~ True story, hurt like hell at the time but now it's worth a good laugh Went home early one night with a bottle of Merlot 67, and a dozen roses Found my significant other bent twice nearly in half Sadly enough by one I had truly called a friend My knees got shaky and weak, head was spinning around, "Oh lord how could this be!" A perfect lie came suddenly crashing down Then she had the audacity to speak "This isn’t what it seems honey, let me explain!" Behind my welling tears and mental screams a part of me died that very night as my heart broke with betrayal and pain Victoria had no secrets nor did she anymore A picture is worth a thousand words none of which I will repeat Something snapped in my predators’ brain It was time to go wild and fade straight to black Then God touched my heart and through the rage and desire to lash out I somehow made it back Two paths I was able to see, the greater and more painful was my very reluctant choice As I said in a barely audible voice, "Leave me now" That was years ago, I have seen both many times since I've even managed to forgive the worst kind of betrayal that can be committed against one you call lover or friend To this very day they remain together in a grip of torment No doubt a pie filled with their just desserts For in truth misery prefers its own company.
