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 :)
