You expect me to....

You'd expect me to have cried 

when he said goodbye

you would've expected me to die 

when i found out he lied 

but this situation 

really isn't mine to fret about 

i will not heave a sigh

bury my head 

or pout

his sin is on his head 

he alone made his sordid bed 

I am not the victim of circumstance 

my role is sure not made my chance 

whatever his fate 

he chose to dishonor his mate 

I will not change to accommodate revenge

my character will not fraternize with hatred and malice

i will not come down from my palace

disgrace and shame is a place for swine 

so leave me be as i sip my wine

i will not wait for you

i will not watch what you do

you live your life and I'll live mine 

and take my indifference

as a sign

my stability in this storm 

does not speak of weakness 

so don't think the mess of this act 

will taint my neatness

you did what you did

you dug for yourself a pit

but i will pity you

yes. that is true

i won't drop to your level  

and leave my self worth disheveled 

take to the road 

and take your catastrophe with you 

I'm not a victim 

and this i will prove.

Eden
