Betrayal
The cuts are deep
Deeper than anything you can see
The wounds are real
Really oozing pain and blood
Heart is shattered into pieces
Pieces that one can't count or place back together
Hands are oily
Oil dripping from anointing that can hardly grasp anything
Mind in injured
Injuries come alive with every dagger you stab in my back
Ears are filled with ugly laughter
Laughing, mocking and pranking friends of yours
O God erase it all and make me whole
So I can live again and laugh once more
