Betrayed

Betrayed AI Art by Ashrei Ima Sari

Too long have you been in the shadows,

Not knowing why your mind can't grasp,

Is it true that you are the bad one,

When it feels like they were putting you down?

Rise up, don't be scared, 

There is a reason you rather play dead.

They put you down for the last time,

It is now your time to rise and shine. 

Notice other eyes, scattered faces,

Sadness and fear of unknown directions,

Hoping no one would notice,

How a smile hides a million tears, 

How a sweet hello tries to cover fears.

A wounded love, hiding from the cold,

Fights to shine despite concealment in pain,

Begging to be rescued, yet alone again. 

Through layers of betrayal try to reach,

True beauty only comes when sharing tears. 

Melt into loving arms, embrace the split,

Bring peace to minds, so scared and scattered, 

Ignite a dormant friend drowning in sorrows,

Wake up, then it hurts, but you find your strength -

Delicate sparks reach those beautiful eyes, 

Softening the heart, melting the pain - insane. 

Yet you go - away - alone - again - betrayed,

Repeatedly turning their backs - run away.

Who betrayed who? 

Who ever said to stay? 

A bleeding heart can still find strength. 

A broken sky can still carry air.

Is anyone waiting, desiring? Does anyone care?

Will anything bloom and grow? If yes - when?
