BETRAYAL

I loved you with all that’s within me

And wanted us to be together forever.

What was it then that you drifted away

Without a word, nor a reason to say?

Did you never mean the words you spoke?

Were those feelings not real that you felt?

Did you not yearn those moments we spent?

Was the thread so fragile that you wove?

I saw it in your eyes, felt it in your smile

Felt it in everything that you did

Those unspoken words, those unrevealed feelings

I felt just by being near you.

I was entrapped in the storm of distress

Rigging and tossing with the tides of sorrow.

You stretched your hand to strengthen me

Lighting a hope to live life again.

When I was just coming out of it,

Just beginning to see the light of life

You removed your hand off from mine

Leaving me to fall in the storm again.

Is there no end to these tears?

Will they flow for endless time?

Can’t these threads be tied again?

Can’t we give our love a chance again?
