Betrayal

It hurts when people say they care But when you need them, are not there Here today but gone tomorrow Leaving your soul full of sorrow Why say these things that are not true? It seems so heartless and deceitful too Like a spider spinning its deadly web A trap that fills your heart with dread A sensitive soul that cares too much Is easily hurt by the spider's touch Please be aware of the pain you reap Do not make promises you cannot keep Lisa Jo Ewert CopyrightŠ December 1998
