Requiem for a Relationship

The splintered echos of a secret
seem barely audible;
but on this night,
though it doesn't seem right,
my pain is now, multiple.

I ache for all you've been through
your secret's safe with me;
without a doubt,
it's finally out,
that alone, should've set you "free".

You're defined by your pure, negativity
coercing rumors to become, true;
you can't feel...and can't grieve,
so, you decided to leave,
like it was the thing to do.

You betrayed "us" when you threw my heart away
with no remorse, not even a trace;
you alone, failed the test,
you're worse than the rest,
it's written all over your face.

Ill-fated, into learning this lesson again
it really, doesn't seem "fair";
I placed my "blind " trust,
our union, you vowed to "bust",
and with that.....you vanished into thin air.
