Those Who Love Us Most Betray Us the Worst

Reflections of a reality that is paved 
With a dark thread of blood
A flood of uncertainty that sparkles a deep truth!
Those who love us most
Betray us the worst!
At a given time 
Love will burst with glory
But that is not the whole story

First blood stains never fade
The blade is hidden 
Then all of a sudden
When the weight is too heavy
The game changes and
Your name loses power 
Within the heart of another!
Shame fills the one and
The other allows pride to ride with them!
The one reflects and 
Sees that those who love most
Betray us the worst!

Love was never the problem!
