Betrayal feels like cold wool…
…a room without a door…
…a suspended wall…
…a secret said aloud.
Betrayal hurts like a nail…
…a throbbing sore…
…a twisted gut…
…a blinding light.
Betrayal happens when you let a sickness take control…when you think there is no choice…when you decide it’s easier to give up.
Betrayal happens when you sabotage a relationship…when you throw away real love…and replace it with pity.
Betrayal is a fleeting feeling…one that goes away as those who do not lie take a stand…and make it clear…that betrayal has no place here.
Saying goodbye to you is cleaning my life out…giving my heart a chance…to heal the wounds you open with your selfish cries…to get your manipulative words out of my head…so that when I think of you…you will no longer be my poor…sorry…sister…but the addict you are…living with the choices you made…and understanding that I do not have to keep on forgiving you.
I have lost a lot to drugs…but not you…you I lost to a lie.
Betrayal feels like a lie.
