Betrayal
Posted: 4/6/2006 11:33:18 AM 

Ah my friend can it ever really end
with breath in my lungs and the wind in my hair
I know she isn't there 
maybe even doesn't care
still
I stand alone as always
patient in my being
seeing what I need to see
keeping my soul with me

I may have misunderstood so much
and will surely misunderstand more
the waves will continue to wash the shore
erroding the stones we think are so hard
they will fall like a cheap house of cards
when the final end comes to greet me
then I would hope to see
reality as it really is to all 
including the trees
the birds and the bees won't matter so much
hormonal exstatic touch may just disappear
epiphanic enlightenment should be clear
even if the phrasing doesn't endear
I hope its a nice time of year

To feel betrayed is a common thing
though often not justified
I know that friend in the end lied
but in their heart they tried to be true
to what they had thought of you
before some subtle change
made it all feel so strange
they just couldn't explain
how their brain rearranged the pain

Misunderstanding can make a rough landing
for any small or large payload
potholes in the road will shake and goad
the best skills and patience of wills
see sometimes the kill doesn't lie still
and will give away your position or standing

I know she is gone
we even put it to song
tried to say so long
were we wrong?

for as I said my friend
if breath I can send
the trend won't bend
so it can't be the end.
