The Sting of Betrayal

I trusted you like the rising sun,A bond unshaken, a battle won.But shadows whispered behind my back,A silent knife, a heart turned black. Your words were silk, your smile a lie,A painted mask I failed to pry.Each promise made, now dust and air,A broken bridge beyond repair. I stood with you in storm and rain,Yet…

I trusted you like the rising sun,
A bond unshaken, a battle won.
But shadows whispered behind my back,
A silent knife, a heart turned black.

Your words were silk, your smile a lie,
A painted mask I failed to pry.
Each promise made, now dust and air,
A broken bridge beyond repair.

I stood with you in storm and rain,
Yet you left me drowning in my pain.
Not with a sword, nor cruelest fist,
But love turned poison, a traitor’s kiss.

Yet here I stand, though torn apart,
With scars of steel upon my heart.
For trust once lost is never the same,
And fire reborn forgets the flame.

    “Your words are touching and convey a pain that many can feel in their souls. Betrayal leaves deep marks, but it is also a reminder of the strength we find within ourselves afterward. I have learned that even the deepest wounds make us stronger, and sometimes, the fire that reignites in the heart is more powerful than any extinguished flame.”

    This poem beautifully captures the raw emotions of trust, betrayal, and resilience. The imagery is powerful, and the rhythm flows like a heartbeat echoing pain and strength. “Fire reborn forgets the flame”—what a profound way to express transformation! A truly moving piece.👌

    This is a rich poem detailing the pain of broken promises and prompts me to pray for those I have wounded in my selfishness in years gone by. ❤️&🙏, c.a.
