The Betrayal

Trapped inside that empty house,

She beats the glass sobbing

Till her hands turn crimson

Her throat almost rips now,

She screams through the window,

But he's not turning back

Not granting even his shadow

Under that roof,

She clung to the love he showed

In the hours she remained aloof

The words she heard

"Yeah, love shall save you"

She was the culprit

Who told him to leave

As a final trial of his loyalty

He always knew better

Still chose to honor her desire

As the ultimate betrayer

Vanishing into the fog

He wraps his cruelty as kindness

Promised she'll get out someday

But didn't leave her a map

And the wise fool remains

Lost in what she sought

He became her storm and the shore too

But now her illusion shatters

When he is already stepping

Towards the sunlight

In those lively green landscapes

They dreamt of in the nights

His name is now the final prayer,

The sole sound in that house,

Sitting there she remembers

In that dusty room

Where sunlight never seems to reach

Black and white and gray

All the pages she wrote him on

Are now just flying around

Finding the one they were meant for

Before they turn pale and dead

She believes his touch

Will paint them back to life

Oh, now when she finally decides

To turn her eyes from his back

She notices the mirror

That was always there

Oh, her beloved, she looks

Lifeless...

With the blood on her hands

As the only evidence left

She caresses her cheek

Pretending it's his hand

And now her face is red too

She takes a page

And with her blood

She draws his face

Again

And again

And yet again—

But the face never turns out right
