Your betrayal, your deceit,
So carefully planned; right from the start,
So flawlessly executed; all the way through,
So much hurt anticipated; right to the end,
Nothing else seemed real, except for the lies.

Your betrayal, your deceit,
It’s an emotional ambush,
Effortlessly explained, hastily forgotten,
Is it yours, or is it my denial?

Your betrayal, your deceit,
Wrapped itself in sympathy, stole itself forgiveness,
With a promise of a dawn of a new day,
And a pledged to make it right again,
A mission for a journey to what it was.

It is the empathy that you take for granted,
When you described your soul to me,
It was the trust that you befooled,
When your were reborn in my eyes again,
Your regret embraced, forgiveness showered,
But yet, your promise lingers.
