Betrayed

by Renee' McComas - Not entered

Life being uncertain                   
Has it's just rewards
Looking through the mirror
I see what I see
Trying not to believe
Who is standing behind me

Eyes unknown and cold
For certain I do know
Not who I thought
I do know the face
But look at those eyes
Oh what a waste

I thought I was safe
what a fool am I
I gave what I could
You took what I had
You smiled your smile
And yet there you stood

The roads we traveled
The energy spent
Will not soon be over
So dont act surprised
When I turn and face you
And stare back into your eyes

Thoughts were always
Of us being face to face
Little did I know
Or want to admit
It was never your intentions
Not even a little bit

I dont blame you as much 
As I do your inner-self
You are who you are
And that is fine with me
I shouldn't have been so trusting
I should have kept the key

So go do what you do best
Set their hearts afire
Aim your flame another way
I turn and walk away
Closing the book
I label it simply "betrayed"

Reason for writing:

    My Demons were raging a war, and winning....
