Betrayal

amidst the shadows where we once were one; A bitter truth was revealed, like a jagged knife; In the piercing silence where the trust has gone; you can hear the echo of a shattered life; your empty promises attached our bond with a seal; Yet, now a stranger is wearing the mask I once knew; those my ments I once cherished, are no longer real; as heartache lingers piercing through and through; loyalty now fades into a distant dream; as the poison of your betrayal tints my soul; In the cruel embrace of an endless silent scream; My heart replaced leaving an empty hole; Yet through the pain, a strength begins to rise; a new found courage in a soul's demise.
