He sits

tense

he waits

anxious

he fidgets

alone

when you betray the people -

they leave you

alone

when a sound mind

and a valuing heart

are broken

you sit

tense

you wait

anxious

you fidget

alone

when you betray the people-

they leave you

alone

when a deceitful mouth

and a fabricated smile

are raised

we sit

tense

we wait

anxious

we fidget

alone

when you betray the people -

we leave you

alone

sad poetry
