Sound After Betrayl

 Path unfolding inbetween 

Your eyes mirrored

In mine, in time

I put a foot through

And wandered the wood

A decade with you

Now we stand

The pact broken

A band snapped in two

I can’t stay

The sound is too much

The words won’t make

The years too much

Your stare takes me down

And all I know

Is the once sunlit grove

Now laden with cold

Has too much to bear 

And knows more than it should

So I’ll break the quiet

The silence,

The ever present knowing 

But never talking

Once you had a chance

For greatness to hold

Now its on the ground

Begging to let go

If you can’t see the pain you bring,

Let the rain,

The sting of aloneness bring

Growth to your silence and shame

Knowing to your ignorance and gain,

And maybe someday

The flowers will sing,

The sword will glitter,

And the betrayal,

Won’t feel as bitter

You’ll find a door,

A way to feel home,

And I’ll be there,

In every haunting moment.
