Love Poem: Completion

I finally got to see
You weren't in love with me
At least not anymore
When I walked for the door

Your heart already tied
With his and so you lied
As I fell from former glory
You "consoled" me with your story

Couldn't see then, now I know
How easily you let go
You said one thing, did another
Not the actions of a lover

And though I am quite clever
Didn't put all that together 
Responsible for mis-formation 
Of your true communication

I stood hard and fought for you
For the things you said you'd do
Did whatever I could see
To stand for your family 

Took a while to unfold
For your true story to be told
Said you'd be the best parent you can
Yet you're a child not a man

Put yourself before your son
How an earth can that be done?
If that were me I couldn't rest
And yet I guess you've done your best 

I've been angry now too long
And even though you don't belong
Faithfully supporting you
I bought your lies and followed through 

Your true colors have shone bright
Revealing you in shameless light
And I know I couldn't be
With Mr No Integrity

Don't say this to make you wrong
Since I've known you now quite long
And the way your life has tracked
Quite oblivious to the impact 

I feel only true compassion
For you to live in such a fashion 
The constant need to duck and dive
And live in such a web of lies

For all the time we've known
I forgive and I have grown
And now I live completely free
You have no power over me
