Betrayal
Betrayal festers inside,
allowing fear to take wing.
For; brushing all else aside,
deceit is an ugly thing.
Jealousy finds ways to hide,
armed with its venomous sting.
And there are nights that you've cried
from the hurt memories bring.
Angry tears have slowly dried
since you gave him back his ring.
Devastated that he'd lied,
you disposed of everything.
Showing his malicious side,
he gathered up dirt to sling.
And his jabs intensified
when his sullied words didn't cling.
Tending to your injured pride,
you dodge the flack egos fling.
And adrift without a guide,
your heart recalls how to sing.
