Betrayal

Naive like a teen in love You sheltered her in your cove For in that rainy night You were her only light She was lost and desperate Alone and abandoned to her fate You helped her dry her tears And fight back her fears You have been sincere and truthful Loyal and faithful You healed her pain For she was your friend But like the collapse of a realm You wake up abruptly from your dream She used your kindness as a dagger And stabbed you in the back like a mugger You have been betrayed in the name of jealousy Your yesterday friend did the felony She was digging the ground underneath your foot Like killing a tree by cutting its main root You were not aware of her real intention And you were not expecting that deception From the one you were helping, A friend who was suffering So you fall in her trap and ended up with scars She took you by surprise; you were not protected like in a war Now you stay here wondering why she didn’t treat you fairly Since you helped her when she was down and treated her kindly
