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? ✨ © H-He (2017) #poem #heartbroken #love #RawWrite
