Betrayed By Love
Facing reality daily,
you deal with the use of brute force.
And though you feel betrayed by love,
hope helps keep you on the right course.
Facing reality daily,
you deal with the use of brute force.
And though you feel betrayed by love,
hope helps keep you on the right course.
When you look into a mirror;
you see a stranger bruised and blue.
And her blacken eyes look empty
as she blankly stares back at you.
Living in the shadow of fear,
you bear the scars upon your flesh.
And at times, you wanted to die
when the pain was piercing and fresh.
You can't bring yourself to leave him;
on the off chance that he loves you.
Yet you pray he will change someday
for you're scared of what he might do.
Love is not always understood
in the depths of your broken heart.
But you're a slave to your feelings,
even when they tear you apart.
(Quatrain)
