Betrayal

They were betrayed.

I know why there is war in places where flowers always bloom

And the sun meets the moon

I know why there is fire

Where angels get inspired

Where everything turns to ashes

And the violence starts in flashes

I used to know two people

Who would weep as the day died and the night came alive

And I watched these two people,

Look at them walking hand in hand

Watch how they run around, looking for a place to stand

Then I watch as they both stop and really look at themselves

Look at how they act

And think about how much they lack the fame and glory everyone else seems to have

They stand alone, broken and bruised

Being taunted and teased by all the people that they have used

But now the tables are turned

And the lesson is learned

The whole world waits and looks at them

As they realized that their so called friends

Laugh and point, ostracizing them

They stand alone with tears in their eyes

As they look back at the world

Searching for the truth in the lies

They see the fake, the evil and the hate

And now they know that it's much too late

And they stand amidst the dark and the fear

Trying to stand out in a world that will forget them as soon as they disappear.
