BETRAYAL

Just reviewing the facts ( : O )

BETRAYAL

 

Lies to my face uttered by you so bold

Excuses offered up, the truth never told

 

Words whispered in my ear, altering my perception

Served only to aid you in your deception

 

Strange numbers on your phone, just a friend you’d boast

Calls not returned when I needed you the most

 

Unproven alibies spoken without hesitation

Like a fool I trusted you …without reservation

 

Betrayal!!! How could you and be so smug?

As you stabbed me in the heart, like a common thug

 

Do I mean so little? I wasn’t given a thought

All of our time together….all of it for naught

Love this Roger, and can absolutely relate. These are my favourite lines,
"Lies to my face uttered by you so bold
Excuses offered up, the truth never told"

[Roger Turgeon]

Eh....I have to vent someplace...why not here?

[Oyindamola Shoola]

you have explained the title well with these words...it exposes the sadness of being stabbed at the back...

[Roger Turgeon]

A stab in the heart is worse than a real stab in the back

[Oyindamola Shoola]

yh....i agree with you

[Teeya]

Betrayal...it burns most when we love hardest. For me, pain bears the most weight when I remember tasting the sweetness of my lover's lips while allowing my love for him to veil the bitterness of his lying tongue. This flows steadily from a well of personal experience...very nicely done

This definitely lives up to its title. I felt the pain of betrayal here. It flows well weaving a tale of deception, heartbreak, and bitterness.

I have to say this is my favorite part--"Words whispered in my ear, altering my perception

Served only to aid you in your deception"..... Good job:)

[Roger Turgeon]

I appreciate your read and your review.

[AprilRN1210]

My pleasure!

This a very nicely crafted little rant here. This is pain at its most deadly move to the heart. It lingers, there's no doubt about that, but it also does pass...for the most part. Very cool.

[Roger Turgeon]

I appreciate the read sir

[Jack...]

No problem. I enjoyed it.

[Mel Lisa]

[Roger Turgeon]

It is unfortunate that so many can relate... thanks for the read

[Traci]

Well expressed pain that many will relate to. I know I sure do.
But as we write, release and let go...closure is found.
Much love and light to you, dear poet.

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

Damn, I believe many will relate to this, just like I do. Well said :)

[Tina Louise UK]

[Roger Turgeon]
