Betrayal

While you sat there

Knee deep in self pity

Your cries created me an enemy of many.

No one has forced me to leave

But pleaded me to stay

With shouts heard round the world

To stab me clean through the back.

But congratulations.

You're the first to realize my self-worth

And hate me for it.

You'll deny it's the truth

Like the elephant in the room

But if your heart hasn't already begun to freeze for me,

Its beats dying slowly,

It will.

Oh, it will.
