Betrayal

There is irony in your sad eyes 

Empty promises leave your mouth drooling with sideways truths 

The one you tore your heart out for would never sew it shut

Still, you sit in regretful self pity with a mask over your face, mourning a loss that was always sure to come 

Ripping your flower from her neglected soil, destroying the foundation from the roots of the one you once loved

Blind to the true pain you have caused, with not a glimmer of empathy
