Betrayed

My heart is broken again
Can't breathe; stomach tightens
Another discovery of your deed
that can't be understood

Cold, dark, empty eyes
Can often dance with love
Evil is present with but
A twinge of guilt

Influences; Temptation
Draw you in - take you away
Your children's eyes are hopeful
Waiting up for you again

You show love in many ways
But secrets lie behind it
Cobra in wait, ready to strike
We never see it coming

Family bonds should be unbroken
But again you tore it down
No where to turn - we stand here,
still
Your smile resumes
