Betrayed

I have been betrayed
But not as you might expect
Because this friendship was one that I wrecked.
In the end, it was him who walked out
Without as much as a whimper or shout.
There was another that I loved more
He was the one my friend left for.

This may seem cruel, but you'll see
It may seem personal, but it's meant to be.

I trusted the first.
We were up all night
Trying to divine what was wrong and right.
But when this second guy came around
My love for the first was drowned.
I hate him now
Without a tear on my brow.

I chose longevity with the second
While the first ended in brevity.

I don't regret a thing
While the first was one  I know
The second had love in tow.
The first had been with me from birth
The second was the ruler of  Earth
Now this is the reason I don't shed a tear
Because my second friend is Jesus
And the first is in the mirror.
