Betrayal

A choice made in a moment of confusion,
Leads to a lifetime of sorrow and pain.
With no regards for all her firm resolutions,
This action made all her suffering seem in vain.


She stood stoically on the edge of forever,
Holding on to my hand as a lifeline.
In a moment of passion, I pushed her over,
Not remembering that her soul is also mine.


Her cried of anguish resonated through me,
With a strength that knocked me to my knees.
The knowledge of betrayal tastes bittersweet.
For not a stranger, but myself who has let it be.


I watched helplessly while she falls into the abyss.
Her pain cuts into me with the sharpness of ice.
Tears of sorrow fills me at how much she will be miss.
She was the best of me, for she alone had paid the price.


Of all the terrors and pain that has crossed my path,
It was her strength that gave me the will to hold on.
If she cannot be found, then what then do I have?
Her loss I alone understand and I alone will mourn.
