The Betrayer

 

I had a neighbor, I had a friend.

I thought we'd stay close to the very end.

I helped her with her kids,she helped me with mine

We'd share dinners, drinks and wine.

She was quite a bit older than me,

I thought she was what I'd like to be.

I trusted her with almost everything.

I didn't see the pendulum swing.

I made her and her husband Godparents to my son.

Two seperate families sharing as one.

I suddenly became deathly ill,

into my life her evil did spill.

She and my husband began to cheat.

They both said I was crazy, their plans were neat.

They played and fooled with my weary mind.

They were viscious and cruel,extremely unkind.

I barely managed to make it through

I was so weak, there was little I could do.

I confronted them,pleaded to be told the truth.

They jeered at me,"You're crazy where's your proof?"

I knew in my heart what was going on.

I was too wise to fall for their con.

My marriage ended violently, I was betrayed

I blamed myself for the mistakes I made.

My husband had stolen the most important years from me.

He used me up, broken and scared,then set me free.

I was deathly ill, left with three baby sons.

Poverrty,confusion and nowhere to run.

My"friend" and her husband,their marriage did end.

I lost so much confindence,trust, husband and friend.

The sore they gouged in me, ran very deep.

My bastard husband moved right across the street!

My babes would scream across the street to their dad.

He would ignore them, I was infuriated and sad.

How could he be so insensitive to his sons?

What the Hell had they ever done?

My life and my world shattered apart.

I had to attempt to make a fresh start.

I was ill, with a diseased heart.

I struggled alone, it was now my mantra,my part.

I tried my very best to make it through,

Prayed endlessly, Asking God what I should do?

Sometimes things were unbearable and rough.

I had a horrific time, it was tough.

I have a hard time trusting anyone now.

I know there is no sanctity in a vow.

Life leads you to where you're destined to go.

Your must persevere, learn and grow.

I live with the scars from the betrayl of a friend.

A turn in life can be a new beginning or a tragic end.
