The Betrayals

That Lay Beneath

I dove… or maybe I just fell,

as I tried to escape the betrayals that lay beneath.

They cast a glow of sorrow and rage,

as I struggled in desperation

to halt their descent into the abyss.

My hands slipping, faltering,

losing their grip.

I thought I was so strong.

How easy it was for you,

as you backed me against the wall,

as if I stood in front of the executioner,

waiting to see the destruction of me,

my heart, my soul beating

out of rhythm, out of tune,

struggling to break free

from all of your betrayals

that lay beneath the surface

of your blackened soul

and shattered heart,

your rage unhinged.

And now I walk away.

I choose to leave you

and your disgrace.

I hope that one day

you will lay claim and take responsibility

for all of the betrayals that lay beneath,

the tattered remnants

that are now nothing more than waste,

the result of fate undeniable.

You lost me.

But that’s okay.

One day you will see me,

and you will regret your actions.

It will be too late.

I hope you will be comfortable

with the betrayals that lay beneath.

I Miss The Sunlight

I miss the sunlight… you said you would bring it.

I miss the way the light would illuminate the darkness.

The furthest recesses cannot be touched

as I wander through the shadows,

searching for memories.

Though today, the sadness and the heartache don’t seem as heavy…

even the mist brings some comfort.

I miss the sunlight… you said you would bring it.

Even a newly born rainbow needs the sun.

The perfume created by the wildflowers yearns for it,

and faces caught in the shadows crave it.

I miss the sunlight… you said you would bring it.

As you brush my cheek with your fingertips

and promise the world will never end;

for us, though, the world never even had a chance to begin.

How sad.

I miss the sunlight… you said you would bring it.

Along with all the promises never spoken,

yet you always failed to keep.

I miss the sunlight… you said you would bring it.

At The Edge of

The Waterfall

We encountered each other

at the edge of the waterfall…

A standoff long in coming.

I had hoped we could resolve this.

I was mistaken.

At the edge of the waterfall,

I knew this chapter would come to a close—

though not in the way I wished for.

Tattered dreams woven in chaotic thoughts,

waiting for the flames to burn out…

How I wish they would grow cold,

though I craved the heat

as my blood turned to ice

and eternity continued to rage.

We lost each other

at the edge of the waterfall…

No retreat, no surrender,

no compromise,

no bending of wills,

no realization

that this never should have happened.

This never should have happened.

I lost you

at the edge of the waterfall.

You
