I used to believe that you left me
on this shadowy, unmapped path;
but truth treks alongside me,
shows how my wayward heart
left you to wander
long ere your soles
followed a
second
trail.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Thank you so much for reading this nonet! This piece is part of a duo, each one reflecting a sort of opposite side/perspective on a relationship breaking up. I am including the link to the sister-piece here. I hope you enjoy! This prompt is certainly heavy, but I think has drawn out a lot of beautiful honesty and insight in this creative community. Cheers, friends. :)
