Betrayal
The night descends, the body is now cold
But our story goes backwards as it is untold
A gaunt white face in the darkest of hours
A man stands shaking, his body holds no power
The blade pulls back from where it juts
The scarlet blood steals back into its deep gory cut
The man goes back around the bend
Back to the beginning where he descends
The marble staircase is but a wonder
As he hurries up as fast as thunder
Where he finds no one to his surprise
For he hadn't known that it was all just lies
She had told him that she would be there
As she held his face and stroked his hair
"It'll be alright, no one will know,
You can trust me for I am a friend and no foe."
He had done something and was filled with remorse
Unknown to the fact his life was to take an unfortunate course
For in truth his friend was a foe
She was there when it happened and pretended not to know
But the truth hurt for them both
And the man thought as he lay his heart filled with loathe
"A friend is a friend and foe is a foe"
He whispers to himself in a voice so low
As his chest heaves and he takes his last breath
Alas the man is gone, given up to death
