Betrayal

my greatest fear
unleashed
is this sickness too much
will it overcome me

and why
didn't he tell me
before

now i scan the list
name after name after name after name
is there no one i trust?

phone rings
rings, rings, rings, rings... voicemail

well after all it's nearly midnight there

one person i could surely call
any time of night
and yet
i can't talk to her about this
won't talk to her about things of this nature

so i keep dialing
eventually
i'll find someone

to trust
