BETRAYAL OF TRUST

We were inseparable, a bond so strong

Shared every secret, right and wrong.

But there was one thing we never shared

Our hearts, our loves, our deepest cares.

I introduced you to him, without a clue.

Little did I know, our friendship was through.

You formed a bond with him, behind my back.

A betrayal of trust, a wound that attacked

My heart, my soul, my everything.

Left me questioning, why and how could you do this thing?

I confronted you, with tears in my eyes

Hoping we could mend, our fractured ties

But you suggested we share him, a proposal so bold

A request that cut deep, leaving me cold.

I refused, and walked away.

Leaving you and him, to your own way

Now I’m left to pick up the pieces of me

To mend the cracks, to set my soul free.

The hurt is still real, the pain still remains

I’m left with a heart that’s guarded, with emotions in chains

It’s difficult for me to make a bond, to open up once more

I’ve been alone, afraid to trust, afraid to love, afraid to be with you

I don’t know who to trust, who to believe

Every bond feels like a risk, a gamble to conceive

I’m tired of being hurt, tired of being lied to

Tired of being left behind, tired of being broken in two

So I’ll stay alone, stay protected

Build walls around my heart, and never be detected

But deep down inside, I yearn for human touch

For a connection that’s real, for a love that’s true

Perhaps someday, I’ll find my way

To trust again, to love again, to live again

But until then, I’ll hold on to me

And hope that someday, I’ll find my destiny
