Deception
As I lay awake fear fills my heart,
Darkness surrounding me
Seeking to find a protector
Somewhere within my soul
Someone to listen, but speaking no words
I open myself up
And to my amazement
I find the one I trusted
has deceived me once again.
I lay awake filled once more
with pain of deception,
Fearing the trust I gave,
will lead me into another hell.
