A Measured Response

A Measured Response

A measured response

And promises made

30 pieces of silver

Bound to betray 

There’s treasure in this 

It’s something she knows

The scale measures the cost and someone must go

A choice has been made

To drop the dead weight

A sunrise salutation to greet the free day

No longer held down

No longer held back

No more love

My trust has been smashed

Pieces of my broken dreams

I mourn the past and the future seems bleek
