Betrayal

Betrayal

Stranger looking into me staring in my eyes
hiding the deception in his careful sea of lies

Slowly breaking locks I’d carefully constructed placed around my heart to appear it was hardened

Breaking up my fences pulling down my walls building a friendship
not heeding ancestors calls

Empathic senses ringing a warning in my ear 
ignore it wanting closeness pretending not to hear

Turning a blind eye to all the nagging signs
keep my heart twisting in a knot and in a bind

I read my taro and I can’t believe my eyes
in shock I look down and see my quivering thighs

Libras know this game better than most 
pour a glass of wine and you drink a toast 

Wolf in sheep’s clothing pretending to love me
fool me once shame on you my love you’ll never see
