Betrayed of His Words

He swore his vows beneath a
hollow sun,
Then broke the trust before
the day was done.
With whispered poison and a 
cruel, abusive temper,
He strangled every truth that 
he had sung.

He sought his comfort in
another's woman arms,
While tearing down his wife
soul and her love for him.
A masterclass of malice,
stitched with deceiving lies,
He watched the fading
courage in her eyes. 

But silence breaks, and I will
not remain,
I'm stepping past the empty 
shadow of his bondage chains.
