Betrayed #1 V2

Betrayed

You held my hand like it meant something,
But your eyes were already running.
I told you truths no one knew,
You told them too — just not to who.

I thought your silence meant you cared,
But now I know — I was never spared...

I was betrayed — not by goodbye,
But by the way you lived a lie.
You smiled while you tore me down,
Built your heaven while I drowned.
I was betrayed — not loud, not fast,
Just with a love that wouldn’t last.
You didn’t leave — you just delayed…
And that’s the worst kind
Of being betrayed.

You said I was your only one,
But your heart had already run.
You kissed my scars like they were sweet,
While carving new ones underneath.

You didn’t break — you let me bend,
Till I snapped,
And called it the end…

I was betrayed — soft and slow,
By someone I thought I’d always know.
You played the part, you knew the lines,
But love like yours has warning signs.
I was betrayed — like glass in flame,
By someone who forgot my name.
You let the colors slowly fade…
And still pretended
Not to betray.

I trusted you with all my flaws,
But you just watched me fall apart.
You didn’t have to use a knife —
You cut me out
With quiet lies.

I was betrayed — no war, no sound,
Just a slow collapse without the ground.
No sorry, no truth, no fight to stay…
Just the way you slipped away.
I was betrayed — not once, but deep,
By a love I tried to keep.
Now all that’s left is what decayed…
The echo of
What you betrayed.
