E says she would never betray me
Even as she crawls up to the owner for raise.
He making the same offer he made before
If you do something just a bit special
He’ll until his purse strings
Only I’m not clear what special means,
Or if this is just another plot to be rid of me
Offering her stories on my beat
To see if maybe, just maybe
He can finally be free of me,
This already being
The most painful summer of my life,
And this only rips off a scab
From a deeper wound,
Inflicted upon myself
Although I blame someone else,
A wound that may never heal
If people like E keeps making it bleed,
Trust thrust into it like a hot knife,
Though I should not talk
Having done my best to betray trust
With someone else.
“I’ll never betray you,” E tells me
Though I already know she has,
Everybody betrays everybody
When push comes to shove
