A friend once held
so close and dear,
Now seems to me
so far and clear,
The trust we shared,
now broken and seared,
A bond once strong,
now disappeared.
The words you spoke,
so sweet and kind,
Were all but lies,
I now find,
Your actions spoke,
the truth behind,
A traitor's heart,
so cruelly designed.
How could you
do this to me,
To take my trust
and set it free,
To leave me shattered,
lost at sea,
Betrayal's wound,
so deep, it bleeds.
I thought our friendship would withstand,
The trials of life,
the shifting sand,
But now I see you had a plan,
To turn your back
and leave me damned.
So go your way,
I'll go mine,
The ties we had,
now left behind,
I'll heal my heart,
with love divine,
And leave you in the past, resigned.
Life was a lie,
I believed it true,
But now I see,
The deception grew.
I thought I knew,
What it all meant,
But now I find,
It was all just pretend.
The dreams I had,
The hopes I held,
Were nothing more,
Then tales I'd tell.
The love I felt,
The joy I knew,
Were just illusions,
That never came true.
I thought I lived,
But now I see
I was just existing,
In a false reality.
But now I choose,
To break the chains,
And find my way,
Through the lies and pains.
I'll start anew,
find my truth,
Embrace the real,
And leave behind the uncouth.
Life may have been a lie,
But now I'm free,
To live my own truth,
And be who I want to be.
The tales I tell
Of a traitor's heart
Are nothing
But words to me
Betrayal can break you,
tear you apart,
But it's up to you,
to make a new start.
With time and healing,
wounds can mend,
And a broken heart,
can learn to blend.
The betrayal may hurt,
but it won't define,
The person you are,
deep down inside.
Oh for the tales I tell
The pain engraved
And you will overcome,
the hate you gave.
The future is bright,
with endless possibility,
And with a heart full of love,
you'll find serenity.
Oh the tales I tell
For every betrayal,
is a chance to grow,
Or become unable
For in the end,
the person you become,
Is one to love
From a traitor's heart
