Betrayal is an awful thing
It’s never kind, it makes the heart sting
Each and every scar is designed
As a reminder of what is left behind
Like bitter ashes where a fire died
Funny how it keeps misery alive
Fate unfairly served it’s time
The destiny of two hearts not aligned
Memories stitched into the conscious
Clouding what's left of a vision
Shaded by fear and despair
The nerves tormenting every decision
Like a misunderstanding never understood
Hollow holds a permanent residence
A fine line between pain and emptiness
Not that one can tell the difference
Dysfunction leading to heartbreak
Hidden screams behind a smile
Like painting a picture over the trauma
Unsettled, it will stay a while
But somewhere deep inside
A particle of light still shines
One day the past will leave the present
And the heart will come out on the other side
