Betrayal



I thought you'd always be with me.
Always by my side,
But then...
Betrayal, in more ways than one,
Left to face this cruel world alone.

Set adrift in a sea of night,
Tears fall freely, as an open book
Showing all the pain you've caused.
First you lie, cheat, then deceive,
Cheat; lie; then deceive again
When will this circle of pain end?
I can see you pain and I feel it to
I can tell your hurting but what do u hide?
I know that hurt deep inside.

Always remember I'm here for you.
If there is a way I can help tell me now,
Lets try and make it better.
Although I'm not sure how.

I am by your side you aren't in this alone.
