Betrayal

As I dangled my legs over the parapet
I wondered when this hurt inside of me will ever end
Those lies, those shattered dreams
I finally understood this was not meant to be.

He told me once and he told me twice
Pleaded with me to give him another chance
Kept saying that fairytale endings don’t always turn out right
And also to take things in my stride.

He told me that he hadn’t meant for any of these to happen
I tried to believe, I tried to trust
I tell myself that it was lust
It is just that everything had happened too fast.

As I recalled that dreadful night
Where I found him with my best friend
I remembered the tears, pain and anger
And that nothing will ever be the same again.
