Had I once been able to see through those eyes, All that’s hidden in contemptible lies, I would have known not to get clashed in, To that brutal ‘street’ of such cold-blooded compassion. But it is not to the eyes that one would suspect, What a deep sword in the back two confidants could inject. Instilled my impeccable faith, friendship- Love even, Yet such a confiding fault of my own for once believin’ That a rearing so heavy on pompousness and asset, Could teach fidelity with a sensible mindset! Now these cutting words, incased in lies, Leave a sickening pit betwixt my stomach, in a jealous disguise. Nothing left but wondrous memories turned to dust, As I rip up the pictures in utter disgust. But I stop myself and then realize, That by pursuing this grief, a piece of me dies. So live and let go, wipe the tears that I shed, There are faithful crowds I have yet to equate, And a promising future ahead.

Betrayal
Had I once been able to see through those eyes, All that’s hidden in contemptible lies, I would have known not to get clashed in, To that brutal ‘street’ of such cold-blooded compassion. But it is not to the eyes that one would suspect, What a deep sword in the back two confidants could inject. Instilled my impeccable faith, friendship- Love even, Yet such a confiding fault of my own for once believin’ That a rearing so heavy on pompousness and asset, Could teach fidelity with a sensible mindset! Now these cutting words, incased in lies, Leave a sickening pit betwixt my stomach, in a jealous disguise. Nothing left but wondrous memories turned to dust, As I rip up the pictures in utter disgust. But I stop myself and then realize, That by pursuing this grief, a piece of me dies. So live and let go, wipe the tears that I shed, There are faithful crowds I have yet to equate, And a promising future ahead.
