Betrayal

Betrayal

I fear the blitz and coldness of your eyes,

Once filled with tenderness and empathy,

What torment bring you with your worthless lies,

Pray tell me, why have all that enmity.

Your soul is scarred; forgive me for the pain,

Backstabbing blows have pierced your gentle heart,

I saw those tears that you could not contain,

I saw the trust that broke and could not start.

Why torment self in hardship and in vain,

There is no fault in fear nor is there flaw,

Remember, friend, though be your spirit slain,

Not all betray – it is their fate to draw.

There is no pride in bearing truths alone,

Have faith, my friend − no life is made to mourn.
