It was Truth the Tore us Apart

My happy ending turned ugly

When the secrets under the rug

Revealed themselves

 

A honeymoon tainted

By unfaithful acts

And a past I can never escape

 

I uttered my forgiveness

Assuming I would be granted with the same

But my past trumped the strumpet

 

I watched my husband leave

Abandoning me with more shame

And guilt like never before

 

I travel home

As he runs from me

Hoping family will cushion my fall

 

I am back where I started

Nothing but pain and sadness

Not even my in-laws believe in what I lost

 

As I walk away from my life

My past catches up to me

And I am forced to face the bond I left behind
