Betrayal

Dave Oakes


Few things can rupture onešs spirit
Like the betrayal of a sacred trust
It will drive you down and put you out
As if skewered with a saberšs thrust.
Your heart was placed in anothersš care
For you knew they could never hurt you
Until you discover you have been misled
And that the truths were far and few.
They tore the heart right from your chest
Throwing it to the ground to smash it
Not once giving thought to the pain you would have
They really could not care a bit.
Can we ever truly believe in anyone again
How can one ever recover from such a fate
Should our life be spent mistrusting all
Is it our destiny to be ruled by hate?
I think it may be an unwise course
To never again lay out our trust
For if we are truly going to live
Love and trust in others is a must.
So though it may be hard to do
And memories will make us nervous
We must keep going little by bit
And hope our heart is willing to serve us.
