The life I was meant to have

What fate stole from me

By Esther AmiPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

They tell me to stay and fight

It's only a phase, that's what they said

But then what looked like a season

Became my reality and in little time

I was living my worse nightmare

Drenched in regret

Fading from hate and pain

I felt it all

Jilted by love

Abandoned in shame

Pained where I should have been healed

Torn where I should have been kept whole

He did promise to stay

“I’ll never leave", these words rang strong

I should have known

That they would never last

The words of one yet unfaithful

What’s left to do?

I remember my past and think on my present

I wonder about my future

What’s left for me in this story?

Must I stay and fight?

Only is this worth the shot?
