Betrayal

Alex

By Alexander CookPublished 2 years ago 2 min read
When you realize who is really by your side...

It's been so long since I was last played...

I never thought in the end I would be betrayed...

Now there is a battlefield;

I wish it were something I could yield...

The indifference in their eyes;

It sent a bad shiver down my spine...

I never thought I would be betrayed...

By the ones who I loved most...

For years I have been insecure

because everyone I trusted set me up for failure...

It appears that I am now falling

There's no saving and I'm bawling..

Years ripped out of my heart

To find out I wasn't family from the start

There is a void I cannot fill

and it hurts so much that the world stays still...

I never thought I would be betrayed...

from the ones I loved most...

So much I wanna shout but I cannot

For I am still distraught

In the end, it does not matter

My trust is already shattered

Yet you do not care and shrug it off

I speak out and you just scoff

Every day I become more and more exhausted

Now I'm discovering you made me feel like I was an imposter

Filled with anger and sadness

What was my status?

I never thought I would be betrayed...

From the ones I loved most...

Congratulations...you broke me

Or is that something you still don't see?

Now I am questioning what is real and what is not

My appetite is gone and is in a knot

Every day I feel like I lost myself

I'm still falling and cannot call for help...

Everything you have done; was it worth it?

Do you even regret it?

Did you ever see me one of your own?

I should've known that I was alone...

Because someone who loves you...

Doesn't throw you out to the unknown

I never thought I would be betrayed...

from the ones I loved most...

I gave you everything of me

Yet you left me stranded and left me be...

Now when I am away

You didn't care that I was gone and astray

Never once did you ask how I was doing

You knew it was me you were excluding...

I used to be filled with hopes and dreams

But now I'm stuck seeing different teams

One side versus another while the bride is breaking

Tears streamed down my face while I was shaking.

But it seems to be overlooked and ignored

I never thought I would be betrayed

from the ones who I loved the most...
