Betrayal is black like the pupil of an evil demon's eye

And also like the shattered heart of someone who silently yearns for suicide.

It lurks noiselessly in the dark corners of my mind.

It reminds me of the time when the dimness of my life overcame the light

And trapped me in an indestructible cage.

It makes me feel like I'm being pulled into the deep interior of a raging celestial black hole.

It makes me want to run into the warm shelter of my bed and stay there until morning comes, with its hushed promises of hope.
