Listen to poem:

I wish I could put my tears back in your eyes

Life's a vacancy within my picture frame
Needs only an easel to display no one to blame
Imprisoning me by my own weak hands
Every canvas I paint no one else understands
Outlined only; this portrait of a blank stare
In a gallery where all the walls are laid bare,
As I struggle to modernize my antique ways
True colors won't release this brush of past fateful days
I wish I could put my tears back in your eyes
Since I can't picture a way to accept; even if you apologized

The subject of betrayal is not an easy one to convey. It goes beyond just being hurt by someone else. For it to happen, they had to be willing to plan out the way to achieve it. It has been a while since the last time I felt its presence... Stoically A.S.
