Four years ago we said ‘I do’

We stood hand in hand

Committed to building this life together.

But now you’re gone

You chose to leave

And do it in the most hurtful

And heartbreaking way.

To finally say a teaspoon of truth,

But walk away without even trying

To make it work.

I feel so betrayed.

Two years ago

You broke our vows

But I stayed

For you,

For the person I knew you to be.

I stayed

To allow you to go to work,

To build your career,

To allow you to live the most normal life

While navigating your ____ conditions.

I stayed because I loved you

And I wanted you to thrive.

No one knew

Except me and my family

And once it was all said and done

Once you knew you were free

You decided that everything we did for you

Was not worth staying for.
