Betrayal

Loyal and blind, I believed in you.
A mother, even though not of birth.
Trusting your love and caring true.
I grieve as dead, feeling no worth.

Mourning with heavy heart and soul.
The clues of truth run through my mind.
Little things, telling things, won't let go.
Denial and disbelief, in thoughts do bind.

To know but not to believe, overlook.
I am to blame for this blind heart ache.
The signs ignored, years it took.
You can't hide now, you were a fake.

Hi Doreen. So sad and yet somehow beautiful,the words and the way it reads.Betrayal so hard to forget let alone forgive.I don't know if this expressive of your own hurt or poetic empathy.But either way as I said this is beautiful.Thank you for sharing. luv June(Sylvia)

Hi Doreen, It sounds like you've experienced a lot of pain from this deception. There are a lot of deceivers out there, but I hope you find someone who is sincere. (I'm new here, too, and they have some fun contests you can enter.) Take care, Diane
