The Color of Betrayal

The Color of Betrayal

Betrayal comes in many colors-

dark and repelling,

dripping with regret and fear.

A tinge of blood red,

a hint of yellow for cowardice.

I watch you there, turning your back.

Your heart is rich with black-

treachery.

At least look into my eyes

as my pupils dilate with rage,

and yet you can’t even engage.
