Betrayal
  
  A tear in the thread of all that’s real.
  A Rip in the fabrics of everything good.
  A feeling of jealousy that cuts your heart.
  A feeling that cuts so deep that it’ll scar.
  It scars with jaded thoughts.
  It burns away all that is pure.
  It sneaks upon like a thief in the night.
  To take away your false sense of security.
  
  Your Betrayal
  It came in waves
  That led to a tsunami
  During a flood. 
  Your betrayal
  left jagged tears
  In a versace dress
  During Fashion Week.
  Your Betrayal
  Stroked a heart
  With a knife
  Meant to cut steel.
  Your betrayal
  It was sharp enough to pierce the anchor of the titanic
  Deep enough to sink it
  And powerful enough to bury it underneath Icy beauty.
  Your betrayal
  It came in a backlash of fury
  That led to a storm
  That created a fault line in the rock hard earth.
  Your betrayal
  It was a slow burn at first
  Quickly becoming a wildfire spreading through the Amazon Forest
  Leaving nothing but ashes and smoke in it’s wake.
  Your betrayal
  Was an armed robbery
  Of the Pentagon
  Leaving it nothing but an empty shell of itself
  Betrayal
  A tear in the thread of all that’s real
  To take away your false sense of security.
