Bye

[Foreverbroken31]

You wonder

Why can’t we get along?

Many reasons, but above all

We’re too different

Separate,

Far apart from

How a relationship

Should be

Forced together

Fighting to

Make it last

You wonder

Why haven’t I called?

I took

The high road

Refusing to bow down

To your level,

To become something I’m not

To create a distance

That was

Much needed

You wonder

Why the silence?

Because sometimes

Silence speaks more

Than words

It’s eerie how loud

Silence could be

No words could express

Just how much

Our relationship had to

Come to

An end

I wonder

How come you didn’t see

The signs,

The shifting of eyes,

The dreaded moments

Spent in the same room,

Waiting to hear a simple

“Hey,”

A sign of acknowledge,

Something to show claim

To your so-called

Friendship

I wonder

How did you not notice

The issues beforehand,

Taking responsibility

For things

In the past

Blaming others,

Holding grudges

Still, claiming friendship.

I see such sorrow and strength in these words. May every passing day lessen the loss of your relationship and empower you to rise above it like a Phoenix from the ashes

I guess that is why the saying of 'you always hurt the one you love' came about. Nothing cuts deeper than someone you trusted betraying that trust... It took me decades to learn that no one deserves to take that from us, and after the initial shock of it all... we have to make some hard choices. If this was a misunderstanding, a once off, or a repeat pattern. If there is no resolution... we learn from this, we will heal from this, and we have to keep the pain in perspective, especially if like myself... I have a childhood history of emotional abandonment. Those of us who were hurt repeatedly as kids, take betrayal to the very core, and it cuts deeply. No one sees those old scars, but we feel them every time someone hurts us. But we are sensitive, thin-skinned, and can be more easily hurt than those that are not. I wouldn't trade my thin skin and being sensitive though, it allows me to see, feel, and hear more, and it's what creativity and imagination are born from.

But we don't have to be the walking wounded. We need to keep healing, and re-group what has happened from a different perspective sometimes. If this was in fact a deep betrayal on this other person, or person's part, then we have to decide if it's worth pursuing and putting any more energy into that person. Meaning... we have to cut ourselves off from them, if they are not healthy, we don't punish ourselves for that, we take responsibility for our own actions, and leave there's to them.
