One week ago, I betrayed you.
You screamed at me out of anger and frustration.
I felt guilty and unworthy.
But of course, you were right.
–
Two weeks ago, I angered you.
You now hate me as if I’m guilty of an unforgivable crime.
I feel ashamed and undeserving.
But of course, you were right.
–
Three weeks ago, I infuriated you.
Your anger continues to rise, as if it’s a swelling tide.
I feel crushed under your wrath as it festers into a pill of bitterness.
But of course, you were right.
–
Four weeks ago, I enraged you.
You now avoid me as if I’m infected with the Plague.
I’m locked in a cell of pain and self-hate.
But of course, you were right.
–
Five weeks ago, I deceived you.
Your fury has now diminished, as if it’s a cooling furnace.
Even so, I’m still hurting as you continue to evade me.
But of course, you were right.
It’s now been five weeks since I went behind your back.
Not that I’m counting.
