A Mask of Betrayal

You hold a mask of betrayal as your summer air scented body feels as if it might fall, You've reminded yourself again and again that you're no more than another face to me, you hold roses in your clenched hands, and you told me each petal is for every lie of mine that you forgave and now our lovely mess of trust is beginning to fade. Promised me you'd build yourself a grave in the middle of autumn where we first met and never thought we'd get to say good-bye, The night welcomes you into arms you call innocent it wants you to follow it down to the sea the night in which you used to hide from, I want to scream 'I'm sorry' I can't say anything. Nights before, I let your roses die the look of betrayal that lingers upon your face underneath the love that's obvious in your eyes, 'I'm okay' you say and just like that... the night took you.
