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
