Love Revealed, Love Abandoned


You know my parents didn't love each other.  Both of them used to love someone else.  And because of that, I was left with a sense of emptiness all of my life.

They stayed together for a little while, until they decided to get divorced and go their separate ways.  I used to always say, I'll never get married, because I didn't want to fill the depth of a greater emptiness, if my wife ever left me.

I followed my heart one day and got married.  And then one day I found out that my wife loved another.  The depths of emptiness drowned me in darkness.  A void that took my heart away.

I followed my heart and it lead me to the slaughterhouse of deceit.  My heart fooled me and my emotions ran empty, leaving me a shell of a man.  So, here I stand alone in a world of strangers, a skeleton of a person whose life once loved.
