x Betrayal x
Betrayal is the burdened key, that won't ever turn in this lock again.
I can replace this door of honour, all I like but you will always belittle it and con it off its hinges.
It will stay raw like anguish, never to shut properly or to know its true place.
You ragingly held my heart hostage before insidiously breaking it, like a thousand cracked eggs.
You fraudulently mutilated my soul, like a matador to a bull.
Danger is your law but eventually, even your slewing risks became an uninvited, unwelcome bore.
Your deafening silence rings out like confusion, at the end of each bottle, that you recklessly drain.
I watched you play out your petulant, jealous games, whilst locked inside your warped abuse.
Your useless excuses, crash, crawl and creep, like denial because you are a false, sick siren.
I won't put out your taunting, fatal fires, anymore.
I won't be burnt by your brutal, cowardly flames, ever again.
Did the sabotaging vines of your past, strangle your stability, like trauma?
Did you lose the hunger inside you?
Are you too scared to be loved?
Did you even love me?
Did you even care?
