Betrayed

Angelica Mejia

Betrayed…alone…frustration…I can’t believe what I see, scratch my eyes out!

Crying now on his knees I feel no sympathy, I choose what to do with you…

I loved you…you hurt me…I now can never know what is true

Your words are piercing my insides figuring out the truth from both sides

Your lies smother me turning my skin inside out, there’s no excuse, and I’m tired of all the abuse

I can’t erase the memories of hurting you in my mind and leaving it all behind, the truth that reveals

eats me up inside

Every night with blood shot eyes I cried…you’re slowly fading away…there’s always something going

on

You’re always in the wrong direction…the pain spreads like an infection

Please stop the tears because I hate it when you cry…here you are again telling me lies…

Why don’t you be straight up with me with honesty?

Torn apart with from the seems of my heart bursting into tears and I can’t help myself I’m about to

snap

I hate how we fight…how we sleep with our eyes open at night

No I don’t feel sorry…no I don’t care if you cry because you know you don’t mean it.

You think you can cry your way out, lie your way out, betray…you have no self control

When tears fall to the ground my love for you pulls me down

No trust, no communication, which leads me to frustration

Secrets reveal and scars never heal I’m stabbed in the back and I’m bleeding out…

You don’t deserve me and I don’t deserve this I don’t feel wanted or respected just betrayal

When I see you I cry…I try to be good to you but its hopeless no matter how hard I try

Its over now I guess this is it

Betrayed
