I had this feeling that something was about to happen,
What it was I wasn't sure ,good or bad I wasn't going to ignore,
With the twitching of my eyes and the palpitations of my heart,
I prayed and waited hoping it was something good ,
But feared it could be bad.
It was a gift I wished I had never had,
For it only made others mad,
A crazy feeling a stupid feeling a feeling that just won't go away,
I pray each day I would wake up and it will be there no more,
But I last had this feeling six months ago,
Now I try my best to wipe it away with prayer every day,
Oh how I wish this feeling would go away.

Betrayed
First it was the late nights,
Then came the big fights along with the boozing and beating.
I usually kept quiet then turned of the light when he fell asleep.
I loved him oh! Yes I did but he was just like all the rest.
I knew he he was having an affair and prayed it was just a nightmare,
He cheated and manipulated me and thought it was cool but it only made me look like a fool.
He said he loved me but needed space but we all knew he was just a waste.
He roamed around with every girl in town and then came home with a huge frown,
Late at night when he entered the room,he always smelt of women's perfume.
One day when I couldn't take it anymore,
I packed my bags and walked through the front door,
Now I am all alone but at least I am free from his evil world of
Betrayal.
