Counting down the seconds,

waiting for hours.

Time passes as the truth has struck me.

Hoping for this pain to be released.

These tears burn my skin

as your betrayal seeps into my skin.

The years that passed, the lies that were told,

everything you had given up.

To feel pain is to grow, but a pain like this.

Something no one deserves or should ever know.

I need to be brave and face this truth,

but it’s hard to be brave when my heart is in two.
