For those that left

I’ve accepted this.

This isn’t something that brings me great joy

But it is something that I just had to face:

 

It’s over.

The person I trusted the most left.

 

My mind doesn’t rest easy with this.

How can anybody be completely unaltered

After losing someone they trusted?

 

You hope that you can trust people

You hope those people will not hurt you.

But sometimes the ones closest to you will leave

Leaving you to wonder:

Why does this hurt so bad?

 

People leave.

Trust shatters.

Life, sadly, moves on.

 

- j.m.
