Edward Ford Poet Dramatic Monologue

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.
