The Shadows of Betrayal

Forever feelings lost forever
            in the shadows of betrayal;
He thought he was being clever,
but coyness leaves a trail.
                        Your heart really tries,
yet trust has been wounded by the sting of lies
and love can't resurrect it once it dies.
      A dark curtain descends blocking love's light,
            and you know things aren't right;
                        for all you do lately is fight.
There is no trace of truth whatsoever,
            reality begins to lift your veil;
      he is tone-deaf to your cries,
            and so, the locks are being changed tonight.
