Betrayal

Betrayal of a former lover

Is what I have come to discover

Promises made now left behind

He is no longer very kind

Taking much and leaving little

There is a non committal

Disloyalty has been the cause

Now legality the plause

Perfidies crimes all now done

Am I to be left with none

Betrayal comes in many a form

Lies perceived as norm

Grasping hands that rob and steal

Who cares what I feel

No honor in him now can be found

Who was once honor bound

Deceptions found in words that lie

And I am tossed by the by

Justice seems to have flown the coop

Now he uses me as a dupe

Author's Notes/Comments: 

How sad when one feels betrayed by one thought to be a best friend

ive been down
that same road to
with my ex boyfreind

Rod's picture

His love for her was just a crush
His feelings never amounted to much
Her lies were bound to catch her out
They were so bad it made him shout
The male in this case was the dupe
She put him on that giant loop
When she went back to her town
It was only then he realised he was the clown
The man involved has come out tougher
God only knows what she made him suffer
