The joy of having
someone dear to share joy and
sorrow was profound

A shoulder to cry
on. A pillar of strength that
extended support

But it came down with
a crash. Not expected to
be wretchedly dumped

Strong foundations just
floundered. Betrayal thumbed one
squarely on the face

Written for Leo's Haiku Heights #249  with prompt  -  betrayal
