Betrayal
I lay on the sheets, wrapped in her warmth
I stare at the walls and ponder my oath
She whispers sweet nothings to soothe my aching heart
Her arms enclose around me to prohibit my depart
“Where were you all along?” I ask
She hid her smirk behind her mask
“I was always present, love
Watching you from high above.”
When things went wrong, she’d help me cope
She would tell me there’s still hope
And in her arms I shed my tears
She fought away my dreadful fears
At last, her act came to an end
I realized she was no friend
Horrified, I tried to flee
But she had taken over me
She told me there was no way out
“You thought you would go? Out and about?
No, my dear. A price you will pay
Before I let you go away.”
And so, my friends, I warn you now
Do not succumb, do not allow
The darkness to obtain your core.
The price is death. That I ensure.
