Betrayal
by Carmelena

Does anyone take the time to look past 

The seeming confidence, the devil-may-care? 

To see what lies beneath and question 

The reasons you do what you dare? 

Has everyone truly forgotten 

The person you were or once longed to be? 

Before crude criminal analysis and pursuit 

Turned the reasons into vague triviality? 

Will they ever catch you, 

Will they ever stop you? 

For now, its more than just a game 

It's more than just consequence 

And you know who is to blame... 

To once again brave past intentions 

Take the stroll down memory lane, 

Sidestepping the puddles, the muddy spots 

Of guilt, remorse and pain. 

For deep within, conscious reasoning awaits 

Those whom suspect, the very few 

Within the realm of morality and principle 

That your very mind betrays 

Even you.
