Betrayal
by David L. Davis - Spring '97

May the Sun imprint its image -
permanently upon my thoughts.

For the dreaded day has arrived -
that you are barring me from your Heart.

The Light that once pierced through the Darkness -
has ceased to exist.

As I stand nearby you, all alone -
masked even from your sight.

Nothing remains to feed this hungry Soul -
yet it's filled, with this Deep Sorrow.

Continue we must, to walk along Life's Pathways -
as the gap grows, as I travel distance from yours.

No greater pain have I ever known -
Oh! How I truly wish, I would Die!

And yet somehow Love keeps me...bearly Alive -
is this the way, I should continue to Survive?
