Recovering (Triquatrain)

I wander cold, when all is told,
Alone within my heart,
I should have seen, read in between,
The lines you tore apart.

I never knew, the honest you,
Deceitful in your ways,
Tender lies, distant eyes,
Lips of faulty praise.

The pain I feel, though all too real,
Will pass as time moves on,
I won't forget or hold regret,
Though love has come and gone.

Thought you'd win, pride is sin,
I'm damaged but not broken,
Lessons learned, scars were earned,
Destiny has spoken.
