You Betrayed Me

The Treasures of a Life Lived

By David FournierPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

You Betrayed Me

You are my vessel.

The one that was destined for me.

You are here to deliver my dreams.

To anchor my quality.

Like me, you are one of a kind.

An eccentric idiosyncrasy wrapped beyond compare.

We must enchant the surface with our individuality.

We move as one, but we choose different paths.

Why do you stray from my desires?

Why do you force my unrecognizable hand?

I can’t breathe without you, but you’ve made that more difficult.

The price of your fuel has tested my buoyancy.

Your reflection is the greatest test that arises each morning.

I’m sorry I haven’t treated you better.

I took you for granted.

Assumption of your loyalty was my greatest demise.

Redemption of your impetus is my strongest drive.

I’ve judged you unfairly.

Come back to me.

I tried criticizing for years and it hasn’t worked.

Let’s try a love of flaws and see what happens.
