Betrayal
Betrayal…
as much as we fight it, it still finds a way to be near
Known to psychologist as unconscious fear, but I seem well aware of it after each tear
Denial only made it easy for the moment
but what happens when the feeling sticks around for longer?
Sitting in the shower thinking hours after hours what could have gone wrong
when in reality it was his insecurities that built on my own
I was strong and confident, but him being a man made it hard to accept that coming from a blooming young lady
His negativity overpowered the optimism, it ripped away the happiness and turned the beautiful flowers into sharp dark rocks
Now that he had power in his hand he could have anything he desired
But what ever happened to the stability between our relationship overall?
Helping build a person does not assure they'll be thankful for each moment of you assuring them and giving them certainty that everything was going to be okay
It just feeds more power into them, while just more misery for the outsiders
Lots of twists and turn and just when you think you did a great job you fall back down and must try again
While she cries, he laughs
While she's panicking, he's careless
While she feels weak, he feels stronger
Seeing her die out and stripping away from her youthful personality, gave him the feeling he was missing this whole time; feeling alive .
