The Crimson Lie

They say that family is blood

They will have your back

But when push comes to shove

Support is what most of them lack

Gaslighting and guilt

Playing the victim game

Betraying your trust

Nothing remains the same

Once you are out of sight

You are out of mind

You no longer exist

They simply become blind

You shed your tears

Your heart is now broken

They no longer care

Words are left unspoken

How do you forgive

Can you really forget

They stomped on the bond

You’re now full of regret
