Betrayed

From left to right the rumors fly.
I’m trying hard to stay out of the middle,
I will not be forced to choose sides.
Feeling pulled in between, I’m not sure what to do.
It’s ridiculous and childish; they only fantasize about confronting you.
Drunken madness and little kid antics run rapid.
Behind your back they say it all,
I wish you could see their egos trip while you’re gone,
Laughing and criticizing…
Unable to defend yourself…the stupidity prolongs.
No one is afraid to say it to your face,
Yet the debates occur while your miles away,
I loath it but I listen to their rants.
All the while mocking them,
Wicked laughter fills this chilled air…
Even the wind has changed.
Never far from despair,
Behind your back it’s quite the corrupt place.

From left to right the rumors fly.
I’m trying hard to stay out of the middle,
Inevitably I’m going to stay by your side.
Swimming in this war of unspoken words,
You mean more than a few dirty looks.
When will they learn?
Crooked glances don’t frighten me,
And the things they say don’t affect me.
In the end they’ll get what they deserve,
We will laugh all the way down,
Some just never learn.
Without doubt they will drown,
In their distorted filth,
For a moment, their worlds will all stand still.
You’ll come out of this chaos unscathed.
The strong may be lonely,
But the scorned remain brave.
Wicked laughter fills this chilled air…
Even the wind has changed.
Never far from despair,
Behind your back it’s quite the corrupt place.
