"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" Amy M. Kennedy [This message has been edited by Aimster (edited 03-03-2001).] |

Amy these one sided love affairs never work do they? This is a powerful write full of hurt. You have painted the picture of that old enemy betrayal very well and I could feel the frustration and pain. Things will get better and you willlove again....like Al Jarreau says in his song......."been round before but this feels so good" take care ethome The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |
