A knife thrust in my back

Covering my body in blood

Those I loved

Those I trusted the most. . .

Betrayed me.



Broke the bond

That held us together

Destroyed

The only thread of hope I had . . .

Why?



I defended you blindly

I trusted you completely

I thought you were my friend

I thought that we were family . . .

My mistake!



What we defended

What we risked

What we fought for, bled for

Became my dream too . . .

Surprised??



And it was for nothing

I was discarded

I didn't matter

And you stayed, laughing . . .

It hurt!!



How much I cried

Deeply wounded, hurt

Tears of blood

Of pain, anger, shame. . .

For believing!



For believing in you,

For trusting you,

For putting my faith in you. . .

My mistake!!
