Betrayal?
you mean
that cruel, hellish feeling
that twists your gut;
can leave you speechless
or bring forth a flood of tears?
Sweetie,
betrayal is something I know
better than the back of my own hand.
It took my heart
and shoved it someplace even I can not find.
It boarded up my soul
inside of a cage without lock nor key.
It took the breath from my lungs
and the words from my lips.
So when you say
'I don't understand how you feel'
I laugh at your obliviousness to my pain;
my endless suffering.
Because trust me darling
I know the feeling all too well.
