The Betrayal

Tears form and trickle down my face,
And here I wait for a warm embrace.
I sit and listen to the click and clatter,
As we all watch my heart shatter.

Precious words I yearn to hear,
Now I know this is your only fear.
I do not wish you any ill will,
For the stab to my heart was meant to kill.

I know what will become of your life,
She will slash you open with her scythe.
The blood will run, as you turn black and blue,
But none of us will come to save you.

I was sent to warn but was chased away,
You believed that you knew the right way.
Now that you finally know you are wrong,
You have no song to be sung.

Laying there left to fade,
You regret you’re betrayed.
Wish you had said you were done,
Believe me son; you’re not the only one
