Mirror

sunshine777

When you can't stand the person looking back at you anymore

When you leave all your riches and would rather be poor

Inside I know it's wrong but I want to settle the score

Just last night you couldn't live without me

Now today you've got a new whore

All the suffering I endured

Hoping and praying our love was pure

You played me like a chess game

I should have realized years ago when the pain first came

Instead I praised you and let myself die

To believe you ever had my back was all such a lie

I hope one day you feel all my fears

I pray one day you'll cry all my tears

Forgive me I know I'm wrong

Still I wish you stay lost and never know where you belong

So that you can feel the wrath of me

My pain because you never let me be free

    Such a sad write
    I don't see how another's behaviour or actions should reflect on you
    I can understand when we give everything and are betrayed we hurt
    But not our doing so look in the mirror with pride knowing you did your bit
    Loved the rhyme and flow of this

    Thank you for the read and I am reflecting deep on your comment. I guess I'm a firm believer in karma so there's always the question of looking into yourself to ask why certain things happen to people

    You want to settle the score and that is so understandable when you feel betrayed. Your pain is evident. I am a firm believer in karma. There will come a time ……..

      I do like that, a lot, the sadness there is all too palpable. Everything we do, we love it so dependant on others that when that breaks its so hard and you have expressed that so well

        Thank you, I truly appreciate your comment 🙂 To express emotion is the only way I know to let things go
