Crimson Blood of Betrayal
Your musky scent was clothed in magic
I breathed your scent and backstroked
through your crimson blood of betrayal.
I turned my face to your sun
and saw your beauty as you promised
me the world on your platter.
The sobs of your wind laughed at my pain.
My nights with you burned quickly
as I drank you with my eyes
gulping your music in my hunger.
I felt your tarnished knife in my back,
my exposed rouge wounds dripping.
My universe trembled as you
were lying and I was dying alone.
You went back to your other life
tossing me like a used shirt
into your hamper of deceit.
Empty air washes off your taste
from my soul as my heart marches on,
refuse pile of bittersweet memories,
One Thousand Betrayals
Betrayal is our picture, face down in a drawer.
It's my Facebook page, with no trace of you.
It's your name on my lips in a stranger's bed.
It's the bad choices we've made,
it's what we do.
Betrayal is the 29th day of April.
It's that fear that sent you running far away.
It's the shattered pieces of every single
promise that you broke.
It's the keys you left after you swore to stay.
Betrayal is your phone and all your secrets.
It's a safety measure, never give love your all.
It's your need for validation, it's ego, it's fear.
It's your foolish pride, it'll go when you fall.
Betrayal is my old house on the corner.
It's pulling you
down
while I
fall
into
madness
Betrayal is the match I lit blowing up my life.
It's the reckless, restless ways
we run from sadness.
Betrayal is the last letter you wrote me.
It's a binder full of prettily worded lies.
It's building me up, knowing
You'll knock me right back down.
It's the cold, unfeeling ice in your blue eyes.
Betrayal is the longest day without you.
It's another sleepless night all alone.
You used to wake me from my nightmares.
Betrayal is my heart turning to stone.
Betrayal is a dirt road in the desert.
It's my name on your lips in a stranger's bed.
It's our passions colliding
in the backseat of my car.
It's my fear you'd feel relief if I was dead...
Betrayal is a shot of cinnamon whiskey.
It's fanning flames never meant to burn.
It's being left to clean a mess
I didn't make alone.
It's my own damn fault, I never fucking learn.
Betrayal is that empty house we'd visit.
It's pushing too far past your comfort zone.
It's my legs around your waist,
it's your mouth fused to mine.
It's a Texas girl with no demons of her own.
Betrayal is the way I felt protected.
It's the trust I blindly gave you like a fool.
It's the secrets that I told you
in the middle of the night.
It's the ugly way we both tend to get cruel.
Betrayal is planning for the future.
You made it crystal clear just where I stand.
It's forbidden lust awakened then abandoned.
It's a one way ticket to Texas in your hand.
Betrayal is a frozen margarita.
It's a party, a river, a cookout, it's all so fun.
It's my makeup, it's your cat shirts,
it's our phony plastic smiles.
It's the hateful, ungrateful ways
we're both searching for numb.
Betrayal is a vow made on a cell phone.
It's a snapchat sent, hoping you'll come back.
It's sitting around waiting for a call
that doesn't come.
It's the passive aggressive ways we both attack.
Betrayal is a promise of forever.
It's the ghost of your hand
sliding up my thigh.
Betrayal's what we give,
it's how we've always lived.
We'll betray the ones who love us
until we die.
Poison
Betrayal is is your toxic tongue,
Tangling with mine,
Venom seeping in.
Everyday you tell my the same sweet words,
Tainted with your poison,
It tricks me every time.
For everyday you kiss my lips with yours,
I'm not the only one they've touched.
Betrayal is a hideous, spiteful snake,
Disguised as a lover (a friend).
The devil may be beautiful (charming),
That's why it hurts so much
(Betrayed never comes from enemies)
Betrayal is a sharp, sudden, painful stab to the heart,
It doesn't end,
It lasts (pain lingers).
Hearing soft, loving words from your green lips (painted pink),
Listening to you fool another,
Realising the lies I thought were truths.
Betrayal brings hate; anger; pain; self-loathing (why did I believe...)
Betrayal scars,
Reminds us that it happened because we trusted (I loved...)
It's the only truth that sticks!
Betray another day!
Under love contract we
Years together and a child,
became a family of three
All these and trust.
But where was he?
Called his office,
Called his cell
No one answered
It was hell!
Then a woman, stranger she
Answered his cell one day
Hmm said me.
Suddenly all the pieces of the puzzle fit into place,
The missed calls, and all those times
Looks like I am being replaced!
Mmm, that's alright, that's ok, let's see how long you live to betray another day!
Betrayal
Easy, often, man
