What is betrayal?


from the ABC set An Abstract Veiw Of Reality

What is betrayal?
Betrayal is the look that they give you of open invitingness that give you the hope dream and for once in your life dream of something better. For it only to be ripped away for you in a cold harsh stare of for the lucky guilt, but what the most of the world receives of despise. Betrayal is the touch of there hand on yours as they touch you so softly and sweetly that no matter what you thought before for that moment, which hovers and lasts for much more then a moment, you feel the hope of the world is contained in their eyes. Until the gentle touch is replaced with the ice touch of regret. Until all that hope is smothered until it becomes the betrayal that has been staring at you all along.
What is betrayal? Betrayal is the constant reminder that whatever hope the world gives us. Love can take it away from us in the same swift movement of life.
