"Betrayed"

Gave you my all...everything I had
The very essence of me
Unleased my heart and soul from their chains
You allowed me to be free

Our spirits soared together
For a brief moment in time
You gave me a purpose in my life
A reason to rhyme

All my secrets I unfolded
I gently handed them to you
Never once did I feel you'd betray me
Blinded by love...I didn't have a clue

Taking the trust I gave you
You crumpled it like a old love note
Everyday my love I showed you
From the passions of this pen I bled...I wrote

Still--it wasn't enough
Into the fury of hell I was cast
When I realized we were nothing but a dream
That the love we had is now of the past

Suddenly, the wind felt different
As it whipped all around
My heart shattered into a million pieces
Swiftly I fell from the sky, meeting the cold ground

You say I built you up too high
That you are sorry you weren't stronger
Made the remark that I gave up too soon
I was suppose to wait longer

The love that once was so true
Came to a sweet-bitter end
Now you turn to ask me
Can we still be friends?

The answer to that question
Lies within the blue of my eyes
Within the sounds of cries in my pillow at night
As you continue to tell lies

We talked today
I tried to pretend it was the same
Questioning all the while were you being real
Or was this just another version of your sick game?

People say I've become sarcastic
That I'm not the person they use to know
That I've become sad and lonely
Lost my loving glow

All I know is...
I have to find a way to start again
But I'm afraid this time around
I have to do it without you...my "friend"
