At seventeen
Disloyalty pierced straight to the soul
Took six years
To stitch the wound shut
Now stone cold
Wrapped in invisible shields
Tear ducts ran dry
Long ago
Stole from me
Cash meant for medical expenses
Spent instead
On your luxury dream destination
Stranded
Penniless
Surrounded by hospital walls
No idea
What tomorrow looked like
It’s not weird…
Not angry at you
Brand new Wednesday
Sun is out
Nurses in blue, doctors in white
Paracetamol every morning
Still breathing
Still here
Barely question
What possessed you
Leave that exile
live free
No schemes
No conniving , no conspiracies
No revenge waits for you
Anesthetized to pain
You were my best friend
Humans bound to betrayal
Same way birds capable of flight
As long I’m breathing
There is hope
Solve another puzzle
Pass by
Say hello
Do not be distant
