Betrayal:

Tears of heartbreak
As plentiful as dirt,
Signs of depression
Share my dress shirt.

My heart is shamed
Our well-being suffers,
I'm losing self-control
Without any buffers.

I crash and I burn
I hit rock bottom,
I'm not playing dead
Like the other opossums.

I cry in distraught
And fear the unknown,
I'm ripped into shreads
But no broken bones.

A sharp betrayal
An even sharper pain,
A family scar
The weight of a train.

A puzzled heart
Cut into pieces,
Dripping in misery
With no cohesion.

A family bond
That's on the rocks,
Demons have arised
From Pandora's box.

A father's sorrow
Bleeding with smite,
For from my backside
Sticks a butcher knife.
