Listen to poem:

Betrayed

Your lying eyes and misleading smile.
Your darlings and my dears, so insincere.
You speak my name when I'm not there
but it's not to say you loved me.

Why tell me lies and live a life so false
and give me hope, your such a fake.
And placate with that laugh of yours
and fictitious lies I love you. 

Well I.ve been told I know the score
your deception been discovered 
and I've invested in our love my dear
A Gun I've bought, a trigger pulled.

 And now my dear you are know more.
