"Wish You Well"

I wish you well.
They say I should hate you,
Say tell you to go to hell
But as much as I kinda want to
I can't
Damn it
All I can do is cry
Pack away my pain
And wish you well.

I don't think that I can see you
Handle being near you
I think it will break me even more
More than you already did before
Yet
I wish you well.

Our vows long since forgotten
The love too many years betrayed
I can't explain the hurt
Though I can say
I wish you'd stayed.
You did not.
And you got caught.
But still I wish you well.

Why can't I hate you?
Why must I be nice?
You said it was me and you forever.
Then you left me,
divorced me,
And now she's your wife.

So why can't I hate you?
Why must I always give you the
benefit of the doubt?
Inside I'm raging, broken, but  where's that anger to let out?
I'm just a pawn in your game,
too insecure and full of shame and so instead of hate
I wish you well.
