Betrayal

I welcomed you with open arms
were there for you in times of need
comforted you when you were down
in moments of despair tried to offer peace

At times you made things very hard
were reluctant to open up and speak
so I sat on the outside looking in
kept quiet though it hurt me deeply

I could see the pain you tried to hide
knew your agony was fairly deep
but yet you never let me get too close
as frustration grew with each passing day

It was almost as if you didn't care
my hand held out for yours to grab
I could see your tears raining on the inside
could hear your desperate cries for help

You would leave bread crumbs for us to follow
as you didn't want to wander and get lost
but when a true friend made an effort
you would oddly withdraw and get lost

Help will only come when you agree
when you make the effort to make a change
for it's not really us that you're betraying
when your soul is gone and you are left to rot
