Betrayal - Copyright (C) 7/7/08 by Dan Sharpe

Silenced by her fears,
she churns inside,
and eats the bread of tears,
because he lied.

As he shreds her heart,
with hateful words,
she meekly plays her part,
in the absurd.

He twists the truth around,
till she's sinking in confusion,
and continues to press and pound,
till she agrees with his delusion.

If you are in a siege of cruel abuse,
your heart's become a scarred, bleak landscape,
don't let your love for him become a noose,
pack up, call for help, and please escape.
