    Ow...this is so very sad. It brought a tear.
    I love this, especially the first and the last few lines and those words within quotation...
    Well penned.
    Take care.

      It was a long time ago, and quite frankly I don't feel the same way as far as the anger goes anymore. But my mind drifted off... and it was a good time to penn my heart out.

    Interesting that the speaker didn't bring matches but bandages... Seems to connote he/she expected the betrayal.

      I did actually. It's a complicated story, but with the silence I'd been given over the weekend before the morning of what happened, I knew something was wrong.

    Even though I had no matches.
    All I had was bandages;
    to patch the wounds your betrayal left me covered in...."

    Oh I love this! Fantastic writing here...gave me chills reading those last few lines and I re-read it over and over again.
    A sad story told with an even sadder ending...but beautifully written and full of emotion! Well done!
