Betrayal
Oh how deep in the heart
the hurt was felt
when you thrust the knife
of betrayal in.
The wound it caused
festered and bleed
oozing forth my trust.
I spoke of loves,
of angers and joys,
poured forth my soul to you.
You shared with others,
with malicious intent,
those thoughts I spoke,
by taking my words
perverting their meaning
twisting them to your need
repeating them as truth.
So strong the pain
the anguish I feel
at this betrayal from you.
Not again will I fall victim
or allow your deceit to flourish.
I sever these ties,
the bonds of friendship,
that you have so violated.
Never again will I say of you,
that you were my best friend.
