It Isn'T True

You feel frightened, rejected by love; doubt has replaced the hope in your heart. And within this world of push and shove, your dreams dissolved when trust fell apart. You felt the shame of betrayal's sting morph into anger; as tempers raged. And you gave back his engagement ring, unable to keep jealousy caged. You always hoped love would improve things; not add to your emotional strain. But you can't escape on magic wings, therefore you learn to deal with your pain. You want the lies and pretense to end, yet, his leaving somehow bothers you. For you feel alone, without a friend, and although you’re depressed, it isn't true. (Quatrain) 3/23/2017
