Betrayal Leaves a Scar

My heart was bruised
            I was simply shocked
Dragged through dirt and abused
I had opened my door and left it unlocked
                        I had been betrayed
Abandoned and left to rot in the shade
Watched as slowly I decayed
      How could this be happening to me
            What ever happened to destiny
                        And the mere probability
I was falsely accused
            Didn’t know why I was brutally mocked              
      There should have been no reason to be afraid
            Leaving but a scar and the mystery of empathy
