Drained
What do you do when hope is lost?
When you waited with baited breath
For redemption to alight in the darkness
When you toiled and suffered,
always alone,
Believing that the goodness you gave
Would find its way back to you?
What do you do when you cannot bear
Yet another loss, yet another deception
When secrets and deception
Destroyed your #life?
✨
What do you do when the people
In your #life
Who were closest to you
Lied, deceived, and humiliated you
Exploiting your trust?
When you have spent a #lifetime alone
Being the true and happy warrior?
✨
What do you do when the one
Who loved you most
Only loved you in secret
While lying to his public lovers
And everyone else
About his need to know everything you do
Every night and day and
About everyone to whom you spoke?
When he stopped at nothing to know
Every detail of your #life?
✨
What do you do when he is the only one
Who stayed
While everyone else you ever loved
Left?
What do you do when you haven’t been
Truly loved
By a soul
In over a decade?
How do you not lose
Hope
Faith
and
Trust?
✨
