Betrayal

By Buzby

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Betrayal!Every word is laden with a lieAnd betrayal like thick honey drips off each sugar coated promise.Falsity and untruths taint each kiss,broken dreams lie like discarded clothesand every room smells of another ruined memory.The night time whispering has becomes darkened silenceleaden with the terrible weight of your secret.Every laugh jerks out as frail and brittle as an autumn leafand crumbles into dust.The pretence is tiring,the waiting is hard,and the knowledge sits in my mouth like a bad tastethat no amount of gargling can rinse out.Scars that had grown painlessbegin to ooze and smart.Who will heal them nowwhen your words hold no warmthand your eyes can no longer meet mine?
