Traitor

Traitor By Kevin Robey September 9, 2013 Living those moments over and over in his head Witnessing the love undone in this very bed An innocent bystander in this crime scene tale He was away, she drove home that rusty nail The conversations and passion forever to be seen Through scars in his mind that replay in his dreams She proved him right, the evidence they left behind His heart became a silhouette inside her broken mind Shattered pictures of sunrise smiles and a blissful kiss Moments he could never get back after all of this The girl he once knew now hid behind sleepless eyes Her barren mind became the site of his hearts demise Once they fought in their final stand with bright eyes Should’ve known all along that demons never die They stood apart then, waged battles in their own minds But she never came back, he lost his grand design He returned to the hill where they rose to great heights Now the sun has burned out; and gone is the light Just overgrown tombs of promises they never kept Scars that’ll never heal and truths he won’t accept He knew just what to say to get through the day Every blank stare more than words could ever say Once again he searched for the warrior within Knowing love went deeper than scars on his skin He sat in his room behind closed window blinds Let his mind realign and drift back in time A place that knew was so alive and true Where he was a man with a face that he knew Holding the moment in time where bright eyes aligned He looked to the future for a place he could shine …alone
