Popular Betrayal Poems
BrOken
by Stewart Watkins

Played with, mishandled, juggled, fumbled then
dropped

Once whole but now broken, this precious glass

Shattered and liberally on the ground it lays

A motley of pieces large, small, and in between
all scattered

Theater Of Life
by Ankwasa Harlord

Theater Of Life

We met as strangers stranded in the park,
Lonely as the night -
Wandering in wonder, will the train surface?
1:35am she thought to provide me warmth
Open arms, I drowned beneath her chest.

We sang, imitating the birds in the far away forest,
The wind sang along in uniformity, blended we thought!

Betrayal and Enmity
by Seren VonStein

You may give me strife
But you may not have my life--
My body, my sanity,
Uncontrolled in your vanity,
Think you can take what you want
No regards to me
I put up a front
Because you can take my freedom
But you can't take my pride.

a quiet orbit
by Mishka M

i was the moon, soft and steadfast,
lighting the way when the world grew dark,
whispering light into heavy hearts,
a quiet companion, never too far.

i cheered for the stars as they blazed their trails,
watched them shine and heard their tales.
i clapped for the sun, so bold, so bright,
though it never turned to share its light.

मेरी शायरी
by Sumit Maurya

मेरी शायरी के किस्से गूंजते तो होंगे उन गलियों में,
जहां जनाब दिल तोड़ छुपे बैठे हैं।
शर्म तो आती ही होगी, और गालों पे लाली भी
जब कोई पड़ता होगा मेरे दिल के जज़्बात।
सोचते होंगे कि किस मूह से आए मेरे दीदार को,
अब तो उस चांद पर झुर्रियों का कब्ज़ा होगा,
जिस हुस्न पे था गुमान मेरे करीब को,
समझे नहीं वो इन आंखों की मेहरबानियां।
हमने ही तो बनाया था उनको हुस्न ए खुदा
वर्ना कहां रोज़ रोज़ नए खुदा बनते हैं।

Mermaid
by Lee-Ann Azzopardi

The mermaid's voice echoes across the sea
Her singing is sweet as a piece of chocolate
Melting slowly in yr mouth
But when you get closer, it is evil like someone
Who wants you dead
Drowning with her grabbing yr legs
Until you get out a knife and cut free from her hold
As you escape to the shore
You are exhausted
However, thankful, you are

enemy kept close
by Yunnie R.

the anger within me thrums deeply,
the way she speaks to others so sweetly,
and then turns to me and—
monster is all I use to describe her; double-tongued.

she cuts my skin deep with a silver dagger,
blood flowing as I try to run but instead I stagger
it anchors me down and weighs me under,
digging deeper with every move and blunder

tranquil ocean
by Yunnie R.

tranquil like the ocean at dusk
in tune with the push and pull of the moon
and when the sea breeze comes smelling of musk,
it curls and whispers into my ear 'soon'

and when I hear it I recall when I once felt relief,
not really looking nor thinking that the next day
it would shift and turn into an overwhelming grief;
how it then felt as if what was torn hadn't been my trust–
but rather a broken wing and I am then hit with dismay

Lost for loss
by J’kuan Liverpool

I torture myself with these thoughts ,
Trying to make sense of me crumbling ,
A strong enough breeze could turn me to dust ,
But the wind is stalling it’s just dark and cold ,

I’m surrounded by a cage of broken glass ,
Picking up pieces of myself cut me little by little,
I’ve be played with broken & left for garbage ,
Once treasured with care , affection and love ,
