Betrayed
Its cold.  Its dark.
The emptiness crawls upon his skin
A shadow of regret consumes his soul from someones sin
Betrayal of the heart - a battle no great man could win
Fighting every striking word until his strength gives in
Imagination strangling until he has no more to say
Begging for the anectdote to take the pain away
The broken Promise of the one who felt the need to stray
To strip the man what little pride was left until today
Though prophecy was spoken, it was never given heed
Thoughtless of his being, she fulfilled her selfish need
Planting in his garden the forever warping seed
Proving her corruption, she performed the morbid deed
