Betrayal

For some reason, a familiar name came to mind yesterday. One that I haven't thought of in years. 

And today, thinking of her again led me to think of the years gone by and the betrayal that I've had to go through. 

Betrayed not just by one, but two. Or were there more?

I wonder why do I keep thinking about this past. And I can't help but wonder what I would have done had I not kept trying to find excuses for these people. 

Was I stupid or was I trying to protect something that wasn't worth protecting?
