Requiem for Betrayal

Broken trust the harshest of the trails of love, intimacy
Any form of betrayal caused the heart to simply break
Teach me to embrace my hurt teach me to re-affirm my worth
Teach me to forgive myself, the betrayal and you
How could our love ever last
When we carried the wounds from the past
Finally, you lied, I died
Many ways, so many ways to leave this pain
Anger, bitterness, rage, rgret at the suffering lft unsaid
Teach me to befriend my hurt, teach me to find meaning in pain
Help my soul to grow, to let this go
How could our love ever last
When we carried the wounds from the past
Finally, you lied, I died
How could our love ever last
When we carried the wounds from the past
Finally, you lied, I died
Memories blind us
The are betrayals, betrayals from the past
Honesty, when honest has come to pass, I will return
From the realms of death of self
Of a life that a left
I’ll have learned to love myself
I’ll have learned to embrace my worth
I’ll have learned to forgive the wounds
Of betrayal and myself
Oh, how could our love ever last
When we carried the wounds from the past
FInally, you lied, I died
Memories blind us
They are betrayals, betrayals from the past
