Turn Tables

Tables have turned And now I'm the one to blame The turning that pushed me and put me to shame Betrayal,disloyalty and dishonesty is on my name Consciously the intention was untitled Till Subconscious schemed to cause you pain; Disloyal, the title conformed to my name The reflection i see in my mirror Smeared with the look of disgust But the blurry image shines with hurt-betrayed look ''I didn't mean to do it'' its what plays like a song in this portrait Put on repeat like a hit song To get me well acquainted with remorse But i tend to confuse it with regret Tables have turned and I'm on the other side Tables have turned and i can only see your innocence Your sincerity reminds me of the clean slate i prepared for you But mine was smeared with dark spots of untrustworthy Tables have turned and i wish you could reposition them Hearts broken, I wonder who will mend them Sorry can't even cut a wet tissue But i just wish you to understand, To broken hearts be the rescue If you get this message,know that i couldn't say this in person.

This is bittersweet - not quite heartbreak, but more of an optimistic heartache. The words you choose make this a dazzling poem.
