I agree the ending was a piece of brilliance.

The emotional value of this poem mad eit more appealing to the reader but I believe a poem can only truly be understood and appreciated by the author/poet.
I cna take in it's flaws and it's perfections and tell you all that's wrong with it to ME. But that is SO wrong...
Poetry is about self.
Self expression and personal interpretation.

You have captured this.

Thanks for the read
:)

Well, we all make mistakes in life. I know that all too well. So kudos to you for taking the initiative to write something very soul-searching in a mature and humble way. I also like the way you've managed to be quite concise about the topics of trust and love (and betrayal, of course) without littering it with self-loathing and the judgment of third parties.

I hope things turn out okay. And I hope this poem steers things to that okay.
