The Shadows of Betrayal

Everyone thinks I'm happy inside,
But sometimes it feels like I'm invisible to their sight.
They choose to be with me when they're in need,
But leave me right away after they fulfill their greed.

Their words to me seem genuine and keen,
But behind my back, they are so mean.
I know their love isn't genuine like mine,
Yet I choose to remain quiet and fine

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
