Betrayed


Tears of shame
Never end
Nor douse the fire
Of heart aflame
Spirals of pain
Driven insane
Shattered truths
Lies blossomed 
To no gain
Only memories
Of blue ringed eyes
Ever betrayed
Reflects forever
The unforgiving pain
That resonates each time
I remember 
How you left me
No chance to say 
I am so sorry
I could not 
Make it in time
To say goodbye 
When I had promised
To stay by your side
Death had called
Your name
To my guilt ridden shame
I can only 
Beg forgiveness
That I do not 
Deserve
And pray 
That my tears
Reflects
My pain
Loosing you
I never meant
To betray you
Daddy
If I could 
Turn back the years
Fight death
I would be there
In time
Never let you go
Or feel
Betrayed
Ever again


(Note:_I_ have always called my grandfather "Daddy")
