Heartless

I saw a post that read, "He wasn't sorry when you didn't know. Remember that." 

Trust and respect in any relationship is something that is almost impossible to get back once it's been destroyed. Building anything is way more challenging than breaking it down.

Try to focus on building up the relationships with those you care about. If you cheat, perhaps you didn't care enough but as with anything in life, these situations are complicated.

Take care and may your choices create happiness, not heartbreak. 

Heartless

You took a vow,
You knew the stakes;
You stepped upon
Her heart and soul.

A heartless move;
Trust destroyed;
If only you felt
The least remorse.

Playing around,
Your fun and games;
Always the victor, 
Never ashamed.

In parting of
Matrimonial rites,
The fight is over,
The victim's right.

But there's no bliss
In the moving forward,
When a heart's been
Broken and a
Soul's been burned.

'Cos everyone loses 
When you play those games, 
Your lust and ego
Leaving hurt and pain.
