Betrayal

An echo fades into the night

An eerie mournful sound

A shooting star disappears from sight

And I crumble to the ground

There is no life within this garden;

My sobs are the only sound

I have poisoned the honeyed fountain

Where your love could be found

Dazed, I stare at the stars above

My grieving howl fills the night!

Unintended betrayal of love

Has hidden you from my sight

I remember how it used to be

When we shared our fears and delights

You are a treasured friend to me

How can I make things right?

Feeling afraid, cold and lonely,

I long to tell you how I feel,

But you don't want to hear me

The pain for you is much too real

Should I back away and build a wall

And block away how I feel?

Or Should I give you a call?

We both need some time to heal

An echo fades into the night

As our friendship disappears

How do I know what is right?

How can I ease my fears?

If I do call you again

Would the old wounds reappear?

I can't stand to cause you pain

Hurting you again is my worst fear!
