Happy Anniversary!

The anniversary of your treason Disturbs the air—again! Like every year Floating, whispering, the one real reason You left me; the name never leaves my ear. “Him!” a name I can’t even speak, wouldn’t dare. For it would cause chaos and confusion Too daunting, distances too far to bear, Can’t even comprehend that illusion. You left me here to sit—sick! And the thought Of you and him in that beautiful embrace… It’s a damn shame what you did! I OUGHTA!!!!! Just, calm down—please! Dear Lord, please give me grace. The love you gave—your perfect portrayal, The love you took—your perfect betrayal. Submitted for Olusegun Adelana's "Betrayal" contest
