Betrayed

Hashing out of emotions.

Betrayed-

I'm a fool.

I allowed this to happen.

I trusted -

Only to be deceived.

I cared -

Only to be broken.

But one thing is strong,

Or maybe two -

My will to overcome,

And the barrier against

The weakness of my heart.

I feel betrayed and alone.

I have no one to talk to,

And, yet, I am there for all,

And, I will continue to be there,

But, only with a heavy heart.

Why was I stupid enough to believe?

Why was I so blind?

I let my guard down for just a moment

And a double edged sword was thrust.

My convictions are weak now,

Along with my trust.

I let my guard down for just a moment

And a double edged sword was thrust.

My convictions are weak now,

Along with my trust.

I love people that are strong enough to be vulnerable!!

This is really good. Trust is so important

[Dezaraye]

This is so easy to relate to. Your pain is tangible in the words and I could feel them coming through each line.

[TL Boehm]

Smart words from you. Easy to relate to this one - the double edged sword is a great metaphor, working well in this piece.

[Nah Waul]
