Subterfuge

 

Anger of a hurtful betrayal,

Slain by the words of thee,

The slash from the whip of the tongue,

The sound of your voice echoes in my mind,

The evil deeds you played back constantly in my thoughts,

Thoughts and questions cloud my mind,

Asking why? And how?

Wanting to know the answers.

 

Being deceived into thinking we were friends,

Lied to and hurt,

Crying from the pain of my wounds,

Scarred from the marks of the dagger,

Dagger of a dreadful truth,

The truth of treachery,

The truth of perfidy,

The truth that you were disloyal,

Unfaithful,

I mistrusted you,

I got swindled into your web of lies,

Impaired judgment,

And misguided decisions,

 

Overbearing, the silent screams of your ruse,

Exploding inside me,

The streams seeking release,

But,

My mind is a cage,

Imprisoning my emotions,

Of a titanium fear,

And the ricocheting of a burning anger.
