Ties That Bind

You left.

Looked in my face
hatred and spite
clear and transparent
startling and dangerous
mind resolved and
plan in effect
You walked out.

Comprehension was beyond me
around me
over my head, but I looked up
and missed it
So wrapped in love's enduring promises
sure that time spent and sacrifices made
were the ties that bind

There is no bond, no loyalty
in love or relationship
