The betrayal

The Betrayal

Sometimes the worst of our enemies are among the very closest to us.
For they alone know of our true weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

The years pass as if they were days.
Hurtful changes harbored deep within,
held there through sadistic years.

Sins hidden from obvious view cultivate,
leaving me unnerved and crying silent tears
With the Devil’s gaze upon you
I was helpless to detour or appease.

My strength was my weakness,
my trust and belief my downfall.
Our love is lost in anxious years
my despair will not aleve.

As yet unproven sacrilege
in droves the cursed ones did come.
The sanctity of our home did not deter.

To the altar of lust you claimed your knees,
be it friend or be it enemy.
With fortitude! You were most eager to please.

You grew emboldened in your pace.
Ever pursuing as if in a race.
Obviousness surpassed my denial, finally to see truth’s horrid face.

With nothing held sacred, you whored.
Not even a mother’s virtue was left unslain.
Our children were sacrificed upon your altar of lust, God bless them for what they bore witness to, your motherly Veil uplifted and stained.

No longer whence we met did I see love’s shimmer upon your face.
That anticipatic glance, that unerring look, replaced with utter paste.
For the simple act of getting caught, our marriage now accepts its death.

Systemic in its illness, terminal with no cure, our love now must reap its fate and find it’s final resting place.
Unfaithfulness hath wrought a coffin filled of our hopes and dreams and love trimmed in hateful lace.

Evil, pure evil, was your way. Lie upon lie until you could not hide, from a persistent truth that was stronger than I.
Laughter heard so aloud.
Drowned out my cries of pain over defiled vows.
Oh how you reveled in my anguish, as if somehow proud.

In almost disbelieving horror I listened as you confessed,
to what I knew all along, but yet denied to myself.

I was blinded by love to your deceit as to the person that you had become.
As the years went passing by my heart grew more and more numb.

I feel Insane from unrelenting pain.
For these feelings of fear and dread.
If it were not that I loved you so and for the two glorious beings we share.
Surely, you’d be dead.

The rescue

You saw in me a masterpiece
In need of dusting off.
From this moment on I know
exactly where my life will go.

I am rebound in your love.
From this day forward until we are done.
I am your Earth and you are my Sun.
I thought I'd been in love before
But in my heart, I wanted more
I was lost in an unknowing land
You ventured in, you took my hand

I gave it trembling and willingly.
You accepted most gentle and tenderly.
Its about acceptance and forgiveness.
It’s a deepness of affection.
It’s a soulful resurrection.

The past is past but not forgotten
It dwells deep within us still
Coveted as a warning
We’ve atoned for all unknowing sins

Strong and determined now is our will.
With you I take on new stature
you rescued me from uncertainty
A step ahead nor behind but
aside knowingly, this is maturity.

Memories haunt no longer
There’s no need to feel afraid
The nothing withdrawals,
the voids fulfilled.

I was wanting.
All my life I was waiting just for you.
I was beginning to give up hope, larger the doubts they grew.
Then you came into my life.
Now with each passing day we shall write history anew.
Until when, my pixie sprite, life bids us that fond adieu.
