The Betrayal
In these caves, where promises are broken
Lies and emptiness, a misleading trust
The names that once was, forgotten stories
Surrounded by deceitful intentions
A fraud, their tricks overtaking
Walking an endless night, full of illusions
Your trust, luring us into seduction
Compromising all integrity and self-worth
Persuasion whispers in a mind
And the dagger, rips within the heart
With years of this bond, so united
A single treachery, the shame it brings
Insincerity of a coward, fighting for greed
The morals vanish, these wasted memories
Where loyalty leaves, and a traitor emerges
Clinging to a hope, to be forgiving
As reality passes, everything so fragile
The other side is no better, less tolerant
Treason permanently attached, forsaken deed
The remains, all promises, unchanged
Desperate measures, abandoned homes
The vacant expression, the chances are spent
Stripped with honor, desolation arrives
A meaningless betrayal, occupied by a void.

OF MOTHERHOOD.
Dear mother-to-be, I wanted to let you know how very, very special I think you are. I don't think there can be any job that is more meaningful than the one you are about to begin, that of being a mom. You are the most important person in the world to your precious unborn baby, and you will be for many years.
