Lesson in Leaving

A Lover Betrayed

Broken hearts and broken ties,
Here within does pain lie.

Never a cut so deep,
As when your trust, a lover does not keep.

There is pain, but none compare,
To the pain of a lover needed that is not there.

Acquaintances come and they go,
On the heart of a lover betrayed, a calloused scar does grow.

When the pain does give way to scorn,
A once gentle heart lay tattered and torn.

And when that heart can no longer feel,
Once tender and warm, now lay cold as steel.
