Betrayal

Do you know what it is like
To love? To trust?
To open up the caverns of your heart
To somebody you wish to make your own?
And that person allows you to
Putting on an invisible mask;
A mask of sincerity, of loyalty.
You empty out your deepest secrets
And the person – listens
And smirks. An invisible smirk, though;
Which you can’t see
Because you are blinded by trust.
Other people tell you otherwise
Try to remove your coloured glasses
But you? You don’t listen.
And then, suddenly, one day
You realize the reality
Everything around seems to shatter
Like apparently unbreakable glass.
You think now, why you didn’t listen then
Why you didn’t see that smirk
That invisible mask.
Why? Why? Why? You keep asking yourself.
You don’t get an answer.
And then you make a decision
- A decision never to trust, never to love
Never to be betrayed.
Never. Never again...
