His Betrayal
She sits in the corner shielding her face,
Looks into the eyes of her own flesh and blood
She begs him to stop,
Watches as his face turns every shade of red
She closes her eyes wanting to be anywhere than where she is right now
Flash forward to her waking up,
Hearing the sirens,
His fist in the wall yet again
The firemen push her out of the way
Seems like this seems to be on repeat
They ask her questions,
He glares at her,
Daring her to be bold
She bites her lip,
Another day of forcing the tears
Another moment of hiding back the truth
As she looks in the eyes of the crimson blade,
That will never leave her alone
Her mother comes home from work asking about her day
She locks herself in her room,
Pressing the familiar song that replays her life,
Over and over each day
Laying awake at night as she hears the scream
The familiar sound of the 3 am lamp breaking
She rolls over on her music letting the song,
Pull her in a world that is much happier than what she is forced to brave
Fast forward years later,
Her mother finally ending it
As she finds her love with her best friend
Harsh words exchanged,
People and things will never be the same
She takes a breath,
Finally having the strength to speak,
But he will not leave her alone
And his face and the memories,
Still haunt her dreams each night
3 am and she wakes screaming in sweat
He was supposed to care,
How he was supposed to be there,
But he had another ulterior motive in ploy
Years of trying to get help
A desperate cry,
That the world chose to ignore
Life is about trust,
It is short,
It does not last long
So, when you get that moment where you feel alive
Hang on to it,
Never let go
Learn to trust,
Above all learn to fly
Your so much more than just a face
The times you feel like falling flat on your face,
I promise will not last forever
Do not forget to love yourself,
For there is someone out there,
That I promise will love you just as much
Get past betrayal and learn you're so much stronger than that
