Betrayal Poems
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.

Six years a waste
by Graham Ereks
Six years a waste,
I'm sure you can relate.
I needed us to be more,
But you turned out to be a whore.
Letting the world know about us-my biggest bummer;
I so wish we'd had, from the outset, the deserved sunder.
Woe is me, for I have made a boner
That swine has indeed defiled this stunner.

Song of the Sun
by Nishat Choudhry
Shining brightly for the world to see her glorious light,
The cold darkness was surely going to creep on her and fight.
Illuminating the world with its burning amber fire,
Not realising its fate, with the unlit would be so dire.
Unknowingly she gracefully sways from east to the west,
Her dress leaves a trail of lilac, pink, red and lemon zest.
Slowly cerulean night-drops creep in from above to drown her,
Clasping her with an embrace whilst she lets the light linger.
Clutching on, she beams hard using all her remaining might,
Fire burns out, leaves the red shell of a once powerful sight.

David and Bathsheba (Part 3)
by Pilgrim Roy
He who’d killed lions and a giant man
was slain by this beautiful woman.
Her pure loveliness had captured his soul
and now he had to face sins awful toll.
But he schemed and contrived and planned.
Gave no thought to the fact that he’d be damned
when he told the captain of his great army,
“Send Uriah her husband home to me”

Help me to forgive you
by Sharon Morgan
Talk is cheap
And promises never to do it again
have no guarantees.
Action speaks louder than words
So please, help me to forgive you!

Echoes of broken belief
by siwar ben amara
I’ve walked this winding road, with faith by my side,
Believing in friendships, though many have died.
I saw a spark in you, or maybe just a flicker,
But even the brightest flames grow dimmer and thinner.
I held you close, through whispers and doubts,
Defending your name, while silencing shouts.
But life reveals what we often can’t see,
The heart’s true colors, its silent decree.

Heartless Lover
by Lee-Ann Azzopardi
You never had empathy for me
But I did for you
When someone close to me dies
You would say no one can live forever
And you carry on,
As though, nothing really happened
I despise you
And yr words of hate
For you never gave me love
When I need it

This bomb
by Priscah mutswenje
In the halls of camaraderie where trust did bloom,
A tale unfolds, shrouded in shadows of gloom.
Once, a mentee, a colleague dear,
Now, a whisper of betrayal draws near.
Beneath the wings of guidance, they soared,
Together, dreams and ambitions explored.
Hand in hand, through challenges we strode,
But in the depths, a treacherous seed was sowed.

I wasn’t ready
by Elias Becker
You asked me in my chevy
But I was never ready
Guess I was a little petty
My face in a red flush
Your soul I just crushed
It just felt too rushed
I couldn’t give a reason
The air was sick with treason

Forgive me
by Sonja D.
I don't know you, woman,
I see your wit and charm
a soul so brave and good
fighting for just and right.
Can't help but wonder, lady,
what story behind that image
careless whisper boldly say
you are none of my concern.
