Shards Of Betrayal

Staring at screens Years without words The promises broken Drunk excuses slurred All that gets vowed Is how it begins Truth beneath faults Knows how it ends Promises shared Nothing will keep Shards of betrayal Under bare feet Sickness and health Living half alone Nothing was gained Etched on your stone Belief with no magic Even children can see The cards are marked The rabbit is me Promises shared Nothing to keep Dreams to be shed Like coats in the heat In a life of changes Memory is short Good times in a bottle Bad times in a court Choices in the moment Dancers without shoes Standing at the back door Waiting for the news Holiday parties Cold hate in dark eyes Stares of enchantment A Halloween disguise Imagine a portrait Easy to trace The brushes are dry Like wasted embrace Promises shared Nothing to keep Light up tonight Fireworks and sleep
