Betrayal

Betrayal- (Noun) the action of betraying one’s country, a group, or a person; treachery

You trust different when you’ve been crossed, you appreciate everything more when all you’ve known is loss…

I remember the day down to the very hour

This is the first time your love turned sour

You stabbed me in the back with the knife I have for protection

Targeted my innocence with your natural selection

You looked me in my eyes, and they were the darkest they’ve ever been

But the smile on your face told me in you I had a friend

A place I felt safe became a prison I couldn’t escape

My sweetest dream turned nightmare, and I couldn’t awake

Stuck in your web of deceit, you had me entangled

Then sucked the life out of me as I was being strangled

You did it all with joy, no remorse for my well-being

Then you blamed me for being blind and not seeing

Betrayal is a feeling that hurts to the core

It can leave you wanting to even the score

But the goodness in me shielded my heart from turning

Even when it awakened something in me that wouldn’t stop burning

You took it a step further, and to the world, you played victim

And it’s only until you snake them that they realize you tricked them

Disloyal to all, even to your own spirit

The tables must turn, and you don’t even fear it

Ending betrayal is like cutting the head off the snake

But in the end, you learn the difference between what’s real…and what’s fake
