Yay, I finally gathered up the courage to post some of my poetry on here, whoots! Well this is my first poem on here so don't be too cruel. heh heh



Betrayal

As I sit and contemplate my pain
The depth and span of this stain
My understanding is on the balance of fate
And I recognize this won’t abate
It came out of the abyss with arresting speed
And with untainted accuracy accomplished its deed

Betrayal is no new thing
The unforeseen and trying sting
No this isn’t something new
But this was not like last, a purer brew
My closest companion
The one I never considered to examine

How could it be true
The one I trusted above all, the one I thought I knew
I must now search my soul
To see how greatly my cohort stole
But how can you measure
The entry I lost, pleasure

I know it isn’t out of spite
Ignorant of abandonment’s might
But the true architect of this ache
The one I have learned to hate
Love is the only creature
That could devise such discomfort with ease and leisure

With my confidence fading
Gradually and persistently slipping into hating
The only consistent my hurt
With my very soul detached and burnt
I continue my journey through living death
With betrayal my only friend left

You did a good job Lady Rika. The title of your poem, Betrayal says it all in the poem. it sounds like someone has been through so much in their life and now it seem like they have nobody, but themselves. Am I right? You did a great job and I can't wait to see more of your poetry.
