"Betrayal"

Only God can save you
Irrevocable Judge & Jury on the things we do
You understand the language in which my tongue speaks
It's bilingual 

Lobes tingle
Spines shiver

Anytime truth in the package is delivered
Best believe it's an abundant amount of secrets buried in that river
And somehow, it always reaches the surface
Even if smoke was generated to devise a diversion
Excluded is no person, not even eye

Tried to put the past behind, face it!
On the canvas
Instead of
Brush it aside
For every instance eye cried
Seems to be a moment our tears crossed paths on the timeline
And they met up at a neutral destination of our gigantic pouring
outcries
We just created more pain
As will slowly withered & died

Exterior beauty
But in a span, saw an individuals ugliness on thee inside
You might of chose to stick around cause love had you blind
A grappling choke hold on ya heart n mind
Sometimes it can take a lifetime in one's lifeline to come to grips wit their pride
Be a little off da axle, unevenly aligned
You pray they realize this before they meet their demise
Once you come out da dream, it's no mystery like Einstein

You don't have to be a genius to see a web of lies, assembled
It just takes a minute to break da spell 
As you are caught in the spindle
A victim of your own bullshit constructed, clenched in da middle
With help from another wit identical charges, both wanting acquittal 
My brain a weapon wit notes orchestrated in my temple

Soul craves to be happy, but never that simple
Most might say you make stuff harder than it has to be
But I'm not you & your not me
So the light from one's energy shines out differently

((sigh)) So many scars from memories

Lord!

Please grant me serenity & show me how to forgive another's
betrayal, see!
Portrait difficult to look away from nonchalantly
Without a problem in the world like a spirit that's carefree
Some conversations "For Your Ears Only" like The Whispers be

It's taken nearly 
All my strength to recuperate to turn thee other
cheek from the stinging lingering after affects of this injury

Living in an age where it's less & less loyalty
And more about planned out escapes interfaced wit ingenuity
We are specimens on this earth
By others, tagged with a lot of labels
But commitment to a human being never wavered if I respected
you, numerous occasions
The angles rocked in the cradle killed desire & compassion
Almost turned fatal
Yup!, eye know
That's how it feels when you feel somebody has played you
No fables
A real NeverEnding Story that happens in society like Atreyu

Betrayal

Is harder to forgive when it's someone close to you like ya navel
Our communities in shambles
In a state of chaos & shock like battery cables
The ones geared to serve & protect us
Turn around beat us down like their paid to
Auntie said, if you don't grant leniency to that person that did you wrong
You'll carry it never having peace & give them power over your life
Beyond belief
While they sleep tight at night, long gone

Nephew

You gotta be strong!
Lift ya head high with dignity & carry on
Or else what you harbor inside n festers will destroy you
Everyday the sunsets til' you wake to the dawn
The beast on the interior will never receive any calm
I said, (smh) c'mon
God is going to have to work diligently on me wit dat song!
Cause like most, eye too reckon that betrayal is probably worse
than death

Somethin' eye won't except!

Some folks are reading this now, diggin' my dialect
Like yeah!, I been there bro
Know exactly where you pulled ya concept
Especially after
You gave all your sweat
Shared all of yourself when messes got sticky hot & went south,
Inept!
Word sun!. you know eye can get more into depth
Funny how one forgets
How you stuck around for the long haul, never gave up & left
Gotta get in those books, heal, & study for that test

Eye imagine

The final result bein' a great testimony once you've come full circle
When the story is finished
Hopefully gettin'
A chance to step to the podium to speak n address
The crowd & share what you've learned in ya quest
Empowered & enlightened wit a better outlook from what's confessed
