Her Shield

The Slippery Slope

Some say there are ways to tell when someone is unfaithful.

Unfortunately, I couldn't see it.

She would lie to my face and deny anything if I caught her in a lie.
She admitted cheating on me with some guy.
She claimed she was sorry and I forgave her.

Two months later on valentine's day I learned they were already sleeping together.

I had never been so angry.

I never thought it would happen to me.
I have given her everything.
My love.
My heart.
My time.
My body.
My mind.
Everything.

The feeling of betrayal is horrible.
Someone crushes your heart right in front of you and doesn't care. Just sits there with a blank face like you should be fine with it.

It wouldn't be the first time.

I loved her. She didn't love me.

She eventually came back and I forgave her. I helped her. I tried to be enough, but I was never enough.

She did it all over again each time.

Little by little my once loving heart feel into a darkness I had never known.

Day by day, my heart turned to stone.

I was falling further and further because I wouldn't let go.

I loved her with all my heart.

She was the death of me.
