The sting of betrayal cuts deep
A pain like no other
Unexpected, like a stone thrown in a pond
The ripples spreading far and wide
From those you trusted most
Their feeble excuses echo hollow
Hidden behind a deceitful facade
Like mirages in the desert of indifference
Shattered trust, shattered dreams
The glares of pity and condemnation
From being manipulated at will
Betrayal engulfs you...
