Betrayed

You had all my trust, my brother, my blood
Now only our name means anything to me
As if you didn't know I had your back
Knew I was the only one who listened, who would never tell
Never felt the knife over and over, and when I did I was in denial
Couldn't believe the hand that held it was yours
You went way past anything I ever expected
You know you can shove it, right?
Only you would get so jealous
Enough to try to ruin it all for me
Can't fix your life, quit looking at mine
After all the warnings you still don't get it
No talking about me, it should be easy
Easy not to say bad things, don't start problems
But it's just too hard for you, need to have your drama
You can watch from the corner now
You've killed all we had. You mean nothing to me now
I know how to hold a grudge for a long time and you really have deserved it
This didn't have to happen, shouldn't have
Here's what you always wanted, I guess you win
It also means you lose as well
Sister forever, only in name
You know, you really messed up this time

Very strong emotional write spewing hurt and anger at the betrayal. Somehow family can push the knife deeper than anyone else. Jan

Very true. But my brother and I are friends again. I guess they're also easier to forgive. Thanks for reading :)
