Betrayal Poems
Man Of My Word
by Frangipani Rhett
I'm a man of my word today
Because you never believed me when I told you why I was crying
I'm a man of my word today
I was a child then and somehow I was always your enemy
I'm a man of my word today
Because you told me you'd reject me
If I put myself first before my parent's priorities

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.

The Tragedy
by Lee-Ann Azzopardi
I promised you the world
But you left anyway
Though, I wanted to include the moon and stars
You wanted to leave me for what I become
Saying I wasn't the same after the tragedy
I never recovered
And I am stuck mourning my true love
You couldn't stand the crying, every night
I want to tell you something
I have been alone before, and will remain alone

lessons in betrayal
by Mishka M
you were meant for me,
but not as the love of my life like i wished,
not as the hand to hold through the storm,
but as a lesson etched in the cracks of my heart—
to never trust the warmth of the sun
without questioning its burn.
you came softly,
like whispers in a quiet room,
like the first snowfall, pure and weightless,

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.

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 ,
