Betrayal hurts
Like a dagger to the heart
Making lies out of truths
And truth out of lies.
Stealing my happy memories
Replacing them with their own
Twisted perceptions.
Viewed from a distance.
Creating a world that
Suits their purpose.
Destroying the true reality
That was mine.
I am wounded
And I stumble
But I will not quit!
My truth will be heard
Above the poisonous lies
Of my enemies.
The love that we shared
Must remain for the record
As the beautiful thing
That it was
Kept safe within my heart
Treasured forever.
