I spiraled downward
Hit bottom hard and broken
Even though it was she
that took a leap of unfaithfulness
Leaving me here , eviscerated
Washing off the black blood of betrayal
Feeling branded, marked and unworthy
Blinded and foolish,
I stagger up on to my feet
‘It wasn’t meant to be’ I say out loud
‘It’s all for a reason’ right?
This. too. shall. fucking. pass. I spit
Hardness envelops me
Protection mode engaged
Fool me once… fuck everyone afterwards
Seasons roll on past me
The rain washes away the dirt
I smile more, make a joke
Friends call again
The sun seems so bright
The days longer than the nights
The heart re-blooms with the sweet morning sun
