Betrayed trust

Standing tall and strong like a pillar of strength ~

ever since the death of our revered one

the irreparable loss that balked all our lives

I grew up overnight killing the young ME inside!

To handle the responsibility of everything therein

I toiled through endless days and nights akin

to meet the ends, so that we could live in dignity

the ride was never smooth, it was bleak and bouncy!

I faced adversities, challenges n' crisis on my own

the feelings I felt, I buried them in the unknowns

not minding even once the exaction or the dents

the sacrifices, the wounds and the heart's descent!

I slogged through years to see you smile, to fulfill

all that you wanted for to me they were worth while

it kills me within and I find it hard to believe ~

that for all my love, it was deceit that you chose to give!

I wanted you to live your life on a path that was true

a road travelled by only the blessed and chosen few

but you consciously chose to drift, go awry n' astray

you betrayed my trust, what more can I say..??!!

Not that I expected benediction or gratitude in return

I only hoped you hadn't let me down the way you'd done

the signs were showing for long but I chose not to believe

O! how I wish I had believed! I had believed! I had believed!

I let go off you, now, you be what you want to be ~

learn life the hard way for you do not deserve me

I hope you realize your sinful deeds and soon see the LIGHT

take the u-turn for good before your soul feels emptied inside!
