Betrayal Poems
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.
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

Long ago
by O. D.
Remember that time?
We drove hanging out the window,
With minds wrapped the way the wind folds.
We got lost on our trip,
But life skewed to fit.
Do you remember that time,
When I cried and you cried?
We watched planet earth and the sunrise,
And until then,
I’d never seen the sun outshined.

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.

Blind to see the Shadows of the Light
by Kirtis Venus
I remember
On that day
You told me
Us was forever
Yet now we stand
Years later
More Apart
Than the sun and stars

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

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
