As the moon shines above
I think of all the times I looked
at its shimmering brilliance
and thought
“We are looking at this together ‘
Although
we were a world apart.
How was I to know that the
moon shone only for me;
and that the shining was
locked in my heart alone?
When do we come to life’s
Intersection of values?
The one that says it is now right
to talk to someone else.
It is not ever a
“It just happened” moment.
It is a deliberate
lie to ourselves…
It says that your love to me was
expendable.
You said in your heart
“You can be replaced”.
I may be replaced and so might you
But you will never be the same.
Not just the relationship was broken
You were a casualty also.
The innocence of being faithful…..is gone.
