Betrayed By My Own Brother
His words were sharp and cut me deep,
My own brother, a snake in the grass.
His lies and thievery, secrets he'll keep.

He challenged me with fists to speak,
Belittled my accomplishments with sass.
His words were sharp and cut me deep.

A false facade of gangster to keep,
But his loyalty was never to last.
His lies and thievery, secrets he'll keep.

In California, he chose to seethe,
Jealousy and hate, he amassed.
His words were sharp and cut me deep.

My love and support he did reap,
But returned it with cruel attacks.
His lies and thievery, secrets he'll keep.

My trust in him, I gave with leap,
But his betrayal shattered my glass.
His words were sharp and cut me deep,
His lies and thievery, secrets he'll keep.
