Betrayal

by colleen-cavanagh

Can you believe the betrayal we face, Every day, from the people we trust most; The people whom we confide in, trusting That they will stand by us when we need them? Then they turn away, leaving us alone, Heartbroken and teary-eyed, beaten down By the weight of the world left upon us. Without our closest friends, we are nothing; The world can trample us with but one step, Pressing down hard, until we suffocate, Without anyone to lift the burdens. Still, we must continue living, wearing A smile, so that those friends who betrayed us Will believe we are stronger than we are. It will defeat those people, and prove that We can rise above disloyalty, and   Live a better life without those who have Broken our hearts into many pieces. That strength is quite admirable, they say, Though truly, we cry in the dark, alone, So no one will hear how, really, we are Weak and broken apart by broken trust.
