Bandage for a broken heart

Sometime in your life you will be betrayed by someone you cared deeply about. No one is immune to this and it doesn't have to come from a lover, but it can come from a close friend or parent as well. This wound can be caused by a million things, but the hurt will always be the same. Your sense of loss and betrayal will rip you apart. I know each one of you reading this will be able to account for some time in your lives when this has happened to you. Some of you will have forgiven that person, while others will still hold a grudge. This is just the way life is. The irony of it is that we as humans need to be in contact with others and this opens up the possibility to be hurt. The simple answer seems to be to close yourself up and never trust anyone, but for some reason this just isn't the case. We have a need that only other poeple can fill. We need a sense of acceptance and belonging from those around us and no matter how much we can be hurt in the process we will still do it. I know that I have felt this sense of hurt and betrayal myself and each time it makes it harder to trust. Sometimes I am just lost, and in the darkness of my mind I cry because of the pain I have endured. At these times I just want someone to hold me and make everything right. To have the person who hurt me say they're sorry; but more often than not this does not happen, and I am left alone to endure the pain. A pain that I would not wish on anyone that I know, so for all those whom I have ever hurt I just want you to know that I am sorry.
