White Knight

How do I go on?

You claimed to be my White Knight

Your words not mine

I felt a disconnect and knew you would break my heart

I tried to break it off

 

These words I said

I love you deeply

You my soul mate

The response was the same

Your words

You are my soul mate

 

We were so happy

Happily ever after type

You begged me not to leave

Called me your lifeline

I would have given up everything

Just to be in your arms

 

A picture of you

Shared only with me

So I thought

You said only me

Only me

 

We were a secret

You didn't want others jealous

But everyone knew

You get to the airport

Tell me it's just me, only me

 

My friend talked of you

I confided in her of Us

A letter arrives

You cut me to pieces for telling her

Telling her we were Us

 

You were my White Knight

I was your lifeline

Pulling you from the brink

Soul mates

Stars aligned

 

I will never know

You would never tell

The picture partly a clue

You sent it to her too

Dumped me for saying you loved me to her

 

She was our friend

Only a friend you said

Then why

why all this pain

I saved you

 

You almost killed me

I saved it all you know

Every word, phrase, poem

The pain unbearable

You had to know

I would try to end my life

 

Your lifeline would be dead

Nothing but silence from you

One day out of the blue you show again

Say you still love me

Still desire me

 

What were you thinking

After all that time

Just needed your lifeline again

Then what

Disappear after

 

What you did White Knight

Was inexcusable, cruel, vindictive

You swore you would be back

I would see you again

You might as well have been the knife

 

Sliding across my skin

This time you succeeded

Severing all ties

Bet you didn't think it would go this far

 

No longer your soul mate

Your lifeline gone

All because our friend's feelings were hurt

You could have done better

Should have done more

 

Now I am gone forever

They buried me today

Our friends were there

But not you

Not even then would you show
