I once thought of you as my wish upon a star.

My real prince Charming.

Reality surfaced.

The truth was alarming.

Every promise broken before it begun.

My pain from your amusement.

Your definition of fun.

Every tear that I cried.

Feed your ego and encouraged more lies.

The ties I had for you, started to unravel.

They became toxic vines that over time, suffocated me.

I could see each lie and the smile you wore.

Words like I love you forever.

I adore you.

Lies upon lies galore.

I abhorred everything you became.

My feeling, all part of your game.

My heart a mere pawn.

The man I knew and loved there, yet gone.

Your game cruel.

Your cheating problematic.

The outcome for me, life altering and traumatic.

You craved my betrayal like a addict.

After a long time, with a heavy heart and a bruised soul.

I confronted every lie.

My pain so intense I thought I may die.

Nothing was left whole, it all shattered and crumbled away.

You asked for forgiveness.

Requested I stay.

Those past actions sit and fester.

The pain still at play.

My heart full of cracks from your verbal attacks in the past.

My soul surrounded in darkness.

Pain that tragically lasts.

From your cheating acts.

The fact that I question each thing you do and say.

When asked why did you stay?

My reply I love him, how can two wrongs make anything right?

I remained faithful.

Determined to fight for what was mine.

Your filled with regrets and burden from the past you created.

The man I deeply love, a stranger I hated.

My doubts still linger.

The pain how it last.

As we look into each others tear filled eyes.

Each of us cries for a different reason.

I for every broken promise and lie.

You for the treason to my heart.

Together we hold hands into a new start.

You carry worry I can't find forgiveness.

I carry my heart so fragile and cracked.

Each of us keeping track of every moment of every day.

This time the whispered promises of I'll forever stay.

Those ties that had unraveled and frayed now bind tighter for an eternity or more.

Love that truly comes from the heart.

Can most definitely forgive.

We have a new start.
