Betrayal

And when the light was set aglow,

I cast it far away,

And darkened it with shadows so

All light will float astray.

-

A world where I can run

And never once return.

With not one reason to go on,

I let the fire burn.

-

Concealing every vestige of truth

behind a brick of lies.

Forgetting every world in youth,

All heart-wrenching goodbyes.

-

When betrayal is accustomed to,

Its meaning falls away.

For this is life and this is true,

Now beg the mist to stay.
