Betrayal

I bet you feel happy
I bet you feel crappy
I bet you feel snappy
I bet you feel uncanny,
Being without the family

I’m sorry I feel this way
Maybe I’ll pray away the pain
I just want you to stay
Baby, I’ll stray away the disdain

I let you go, I get you’re fine
I let you win and share the wine
I let you be within your walls
You almost always answer my calls

But…I feel so much betrayal in store
You betrayed the family and more
By your heartless decisions
And fulfilling selfish missions

Fretful as ever
I never get better,
So don’t make me feel better
I am a regretter…a black and blue sweater
You meddled with our feelings and memories as bitterness grows
You made us feel a hundred degrees above and below as it shows

Painful laughter is what I see
You drained the good energy
Uneventful disaster you brought upon us, upon us, us
Yet you heal those in need beside the ones below the bus

I can’t believe you let us grieve
Without a tourniquet of relief
You just want me to simply leave
Then, stay here with you? That’s beyond belief that you’re behind the times of my ever-glowing, ever-growing grief

I bet you should feel
But, you’re unfeeling sometimes
I bet you would deal
with Judgement Day for your selfish crimes
