Faithfulness

Occasionally just a little break, For all involved sake. A quiet calm corner to reflect, And remove all that protects. Gentle wiping of my gameface, Dry the tears - they have no place. Stand and return, Minding lessons learned. While I may stall, I will not fall. Seared in my memory, All your lies and treachery. In my time of need, You followed Judas' lead. Thought I had your faithfulness, All the while, you couldn't care less. So on this precipice I stand, Searching for dry land. Tarnished and shattered, Looking for what really mattered. Clearly seeing for the first time, Your betrayal is an obstacle to climb.
