Betrayed

A stream of hot tears sting with pain
Thick-throated sobs rack my frame
I cannot speak nor breathe
nor think beyond
Betrayed
   betrayed
      betrayed

You never said an untrue word
You never promised more outloud
But every gesture, every touch
Told me of promise, hope and trust
Betrayed
   betrayed
      betrayed

Too fast I flew to give my love
Too easily I bared my soul
I wanted to be swept away
Just to be swept right out the door
Betrayed
   betrayed
      betrayed

It's not just you.  It's my fault too.
I betrayed myself by loving you.
