Betrayal Poems
Betrayal 02
by Mario Odekerken
It wasn't the blade,
it was the hand that held it.
Not the lie,
but the eyes that once swore truth
without speaking.
Something breaks
without sound,
and nothing fits

Betrayal
by Mario Odekerken
It wasn't the act,
it was the knowing
that you could,
and still did.
A glance held too long,
a,wird withheld,
a truth folded
beneath convenience.

the loser
by Mackenzie Bilz
My eyes whirl as I try to wrap my head around it
My brains scramble as they attempt to understand it
Nothing makes sense anymore, it’s no use to try
All I can do now is stand here and cry
Everyone’s left me and left no reason why
Confusion envelops me as the end runs nigh
I’m left here in sorrow, in isolation so cold
Apology does nothing, so it is here I fold.
Tasso's tiny needles
by Dimitris Boskainos
They say the waves at the shore, where foam meets the sand,
That once upon a time, no foam there did stand.
Until an old blind woman, knitting night and day,
Her sorrows and her joys of life in thread would lay,
Showed them to the sea, and the sea, in envy’s gleam,
Took up those crafts and donned them as foam’s white seam.
Upon the wet sand lay a ragged patchwork old,
Just enough for Tasso’s to sit, cross-legged and bold,
Knitting with her needles, tirelessly she toiled,

ONCE A LOVER, NOW A DEVIL by Richie Kharis
by Richie Kharis
She told him "I hate you," but he took it as a joke
Her smile was deceiving and her voice was relieving
He only saw an angel with a figure like an eight
And never bothered to take note of her repeated joke
He told her, " Look, I love you—I'll take a blow for you."
But she looked at him smiling as if his words were untrue
Yes, I know, but I still hate you because that is what I do
Again, he waved, but this time those words came sinking through
I see you working, defending me, and fighting for me

Losing Faith
by Lee-Ann Azzopardi
I have no more faith in you
I saw the injustices you brought to me
Laughed at my beliefs
And made fun of the things I do
You aren't the man I thought you were
That persona left when I got to know you
If I knew yr true self
I wouldn't even give you the time of day
But now, my heart is broken
And I cry for some solance

Release Me
by Lee-Ann Azzopardi
Don't let me suffer like this
And let the tears break out
For they tighten yr grip
Release me from it
For you aren't worthy of love
Don't kiss my lips
It's a trap; hooking me onto you
Forever
I want to be free
But you keep holding on
