False Start

How could a relationship conceived from betrayal
birth truth?
How can something done in the dark sustain itself
in the light?
How can blessings be poured upon a lie?

She tried to do things her way
Only to see it crumble in her face
Secret rendezvous
Smiles when no one is looking
Late night texts
All day emails

She was quick to put out
And even though sex wasn't involved
this time
The result is still the same

Quick to put out
her time
her trust
her thoughts
her heart

Now it seems that the same has been done
to her
She can't be upset
She can't be mad
You reap what you sew

This relationship conceived from betrayal
birthed a world of pain and confusion
for herself only.
