Thank You

Thank you if you've ever lied to me. Thank you if you've ever denied me. 
Thank you if you've ever betrayed me. Thank you if you've ever talked about me behind my back. Thank you if you've ever walked right past me and never looked back. Thank you if you've ever said you did but actually never had my back. Thank you if you've ever said you'd return but never came back. Thank you if you've ever made me a promise you didn't and had no intentions to keep. Thank you if you've ever held one of my secrets that you chose not to keep. Thank you if you've ever discarded something I gave you, you didn't keep. I thank you for all those things and some things I chose not to mention, events permanently etched in my mind's retention, I'm not seeking pity or even attention, I'm just trying to relieve some of this pent-up tension, I'll never be able to muster the comprehension, I might feel destroyed but I choose not to make this an obsession, my mind won't be in limbo a cerebral suspension, an unbreakable heart would be an incredible invention...
