Set Things Right
Betrayal devastates your heart:
while he swears it is not his fault.
And when the truth refutes his lies,
wishes and dreams grind to a halt.
Anger and sadness sever love:
cutting the bonds; trust created.
And confronting indifference:
Hope dies, leaving you frustrated.
His lies are peppered with half-truths,
compounding the depth of your hurt.
For he swears he's done nothing wrong,
nothing but an innocent flirt.
Treating you like a simpleton,
he switches on his boyish charm.
And refuses to admit fault,
swearing he'd never cause you harm.
And he denies what friends tell you:
countering with an alibi.
And you cry inside, for you feel
that it's time, that you say goodbye.
As you abandon wishful dreams,
fantasies no longer take flight.
And tending to your broken heart,
you count on time to set things right.
