With Death You Betrayed me
I thought you promised till my death
to love me?
I remember all your kisses seeming so
sweet and
innocent.
Your eyes, I trusted so, so much.
I took your hand to lead me to the
end of life
’ s road.
Now, where are you?
Away …
So far away.
It hurts to know I ’ ll never be with
you again.
Angry, saddened, and lost.
I feel them all.
So, confused, I don ’ t know what to
do with myself.
I cannot trust any other.
I ignore hearing “ my love is real ”
and “ you can trust me ”.
Trust barely lingers in any heart-
seeker and love … Ha!
Love is nothing, now.
For you were love but you are gone.
Your promises I once held in my heart,
but you took them with you when you
left.
The day you decided life was too
tough and you wouldn ’ t have been
able to bring my dreams to me.
You could have, but now what do I
find in the future?
Loneliness, and memories of you and
the thoughts …
The thoughts of how much you may
have really been suffering.
I could ’ ve helped you.
We could have made it together.
You ’ ve left me here alone, and I
hate you for doing so.
Still, you will always be my only
love.
With death you betrayed me …
