Betrayal and The Aftermath
You leave me in the cold and damp,
Anger, just tears through me,
Betrayal,it was stinging,
Why hadnt I seen through this hypocrisy?
I completed my side of the promise,
Thought you would complete too,
But after seeing your advantage,
Left me out in the blue.
Suspicion rose,like a slow poison,
And started affecting my trust,
On even the ones who deserved,
I looked on my ownself with remorse and disgust.
Every old friendship had died,
Needed to start all over again,
Had you not been there,
All my friends would not look at me with such disdain.

This is a powerful poem that ends with the question of “if”. Remember all who enter our life, enter for a purpose. Though sometimes the lesson seems painful we grow and proceed further on our journey because of what we have experienced.
Nemesis:Well thanks for commenting. I do see the message you are trying to put across and in an complete agreement in you as if there are no pains there cant be any joys to experience. I just wanted to put across one “fictional” scenario which is happening a lot and people should stop practicising it.

I found your post through tobeme, I love poetry and it is amazing the variations of interpretation. I have always enjoyed writing the positive,because I was able to rise above my current situation. There is a little truth in all fiction and that is why so many relate.
Sorrow many times takes center stage, but also can be so heavy that it drowns you.
Nemesis:Thanks for your comment. I always believe in optimism. It really helps a person a lot in overcoming at any point of time. On the same time, one needs to be wary so that such things do not happen at all.

Its not so easy to say that “Had you not been there,
All my friends would not look at me with such disdain.”
it would be just like living a life full of everything, every emotion, every need fulfilled….living a complete life…n den wen u lose it all….u say i wish i never had all those things…u should rather look up to urself n say…i was the one who had it all….forever or not….i had it all…..
