Betrayed By Heart and Soul
Forlorn, my treacherous heart has betrayed me.
Pricked my conscience and disobeyed my mind,
for it desired passion, and chose to set itself free,
seeking a love, it should've declined. Love is blind.
Feigning childhood innocence, it took control,
and its betrayal caused great weeping in my soul.
Since then, my life has been filled with gray skies.
My soul empathized with heart's burning flames.
Without my consent, they spawned a compromise...
forming a treasonous tryst, making intimate claims.
I was disturbed by the self-betrayal taking place,
and prayed for God to forgive me with His grace.
My soul longed for freedom to sing its spirit song.
My heart yearned for romance, plying me with deceit.
What could I do to show them both they were wrong?
To them, my voice had become droll and obsolete.
I will find a way to surmount the sabotage committed.
Guilty, I find them, but with hope of being acquitted.
