Betrayal

They smile in your face
Pretend they're always there,
That you can trust them as
They stab the knife in your back.

It's their sick obsession,
To hurt others, bring them
Down to the ground, scar
Sadly beating hearts.

This time is different,
This time I will not fall,
This time I will understand
I have no one.

This time is different,
This time I will not feel,
This time I will not Love
In vain.

Betrayals and lies,
Self-destruction,
Just the wanting to believe
Is enough for the tears to fall.

The world becomes the
Color of black ashen
Roses left on cold
Concrete to bleed out beauty.

This time is different,
This time I will not fall,
This time I will understand
I have no one.

This time is different,
This time I will not feel,
This time I will not Love
In vain.
