Betrayed
Hidden secrets,
Can I trust him?
He hid it from me for so long.
Something so important.
He promised he had stopped.
The sense of betrayal is overwhelming.
How could he do this to me?
I feel so torn
I want to forgive him,
but forgiving means letting it go.
Do I want to let it go?
Part of me wants to be angry,
To let my frustrations out,
But I can't.
To yell would be so easy,
But he needs to understand.
He needs to know how much he hurt me.
So I'm silent and he hears my pain.

| I like this. It's real and thats what people want. Real Things. Real emotions. Real words. |

| A nice sense of strength within your writing. The thoughts and emotions are formed from careful considerations. The conversation is with oneself as well as with the reader. We are let in upon the thought processes of the "wronged" upon the doer of the wrong. Insightful and thought-provoking - thanks for the read - Graeme. |

Very moving....and very real. True, as Rachael said, the silent treatment really works (I've been the recipient of this scores if not hundreds of times in my 43 years!). Forgiveness, like love itself, involves a letting go. In the case of forgiveness, the letting go can be of righteous pride, anger, shame and hurt. In the case of love, the letting go can be of selfishness and of a form of security. Bravo.

| and I'm silent and he hears my pains....marvo! strangly the hurricane of silence is really unbearable...he may have been damn scared to see you go off track by remaining silent... |

| The silent treatment does in fact work. But in this case, it seems there is more to it than spiteful emotion. I really enjoyed this read. |
