Repaired With Gold
Repaired with gold

I'm not sorry that I cared for you
I'm not sorry that I was your friend
I gave my very best to you
I was loyal to the end
The bitterness of your betrayal
Took me a long time to overcome
I had to work through a lot of anger
Feeling stupid for being so trusting
I thought you were my best friend forever
But you never considered me this way
I thought that we were closer
But you were just playing a battle game
I realise in retrospect
That I purposefully ignored the signs
I kept giving you a pass
Every single time you lied
You took my love for granted
My kindness and generosity
You enjoyed all the drama
That your deceptions seeded
Still, I'm not sorry I cared for you
For I realised that I was a friend so true
I can only have compassion
And forgiveness for your cruelty
Life lessons and experience
Have taught me much in this life
And for you to treat me so badly
You have to feel pretty low about yourself
So, I forgive, but will remember
And accept the lessons cold
These scars on my heart and soul
Are forever repaired with gold
