Betrayal

You held my secrets in your hand,

Like water slipping through dry land.

I thought you’d guard them, thought you’d care,

But you left me bleeding in the cold night air.

I planted trust where the soil ran deep,

Now all I harvest is the pain I keep.

It’s bitter roots, twisting tight,

Growing stronger in the dead of night.

What you broke, I can’t repair,

That anger burns, it’s always there.

Bitter roots, bitter heart,

Once we were whole, now we’re torn apart.

I trusted you you see

You looked me in the face

Said you were there for me

It was nothing but a lie

A damn disgrace

Now the truth unfurls

Anger burning in my soul

Like a viper in the grass

I never saw you coming

Now our friendship’s turned to ash

Anger burns hot

I gave you all my heart

You stomped it in the dirt

Now we are worlds apart

It’s bitter roots, twisting tight,

Growing stronger in the dead of night.

What you broke, I can’t repair,

That anger burns, it’s always there.

Bitter roots, bitter heart,

Once we were whole, now we’re torn apart.

You wore your lies like Sunday best,

A preacher’s smile hid the rest.

I was blind to the cracks in your frame,

Now every word you spoke feels like shame.

The seeds you sowed, they took their toll,

And left a scar down to my soul.

It’s bitter roots, twisting tight,

Growing stronger in the dead of night.

What you broke, I can’t repair,

That anger burns, it’s always there.

Bitter roots, bitter heart,

Once we were whole, now we’re torn apart.

You held my secrets in your hand,

Like water slipping through dry land.

I thought you’d guard them, thought you’d care,

But you left me bleeding in the cold night air.
