Betrayed
You know how you get a feeling
When someone is lying to you.
But you keep making up excuses
Telling yourself its not true.
You convince yourself nothing happened,
No matter what you may feel;
Just close your eyes and pretend
There was nothing to conceal.
But in your heart you know
That you have been betrayed;
That nothing that he told you
Was as simple as it was portrayed
You keep beating yourself up
With an ugly mental assault;
Lost and wondering why,
Convinced it was your fault
Trying to figure out
Just what was incomplete,
To make him turn away
To make him want to cheat.
