Betrayal - Contest

I felt betrayed by God He took you home to rest. Forgot he had left me behind Life now, is an ongoing test He forgot to take the memories left them for me to ponder, those times when happiness took me to heaven and yonder. Now all I have are sad days, when life is more than I can bear. When I ask myself why do u stay why not leave this life to be near? Then I see the faces around me That love me, just as I am An empty shell devoid of love, I can’t hurt them. So I smile and stay here Write a poem now and then Trying to put my sorrow behind me Looking for happiness again.
