Betrayal

Betrayal cuts like a knife
Spears the heart, bleeding with pain
Causing life to spin in strife
Betrayal cuts like a knife
Places a double edged memory in life
Anger is fueled, as tears rain
Betrayal cuts like a knife
Spears the heart, bleeding in pain

Caren Krutsinger Date: 1/29/2019 4:17:00 AM Ah, Heidi, there is nothing I would change about this poem except one thing. I would have titled it "Betrayal cuts like a knife" because I keep seeing that over and over, and it is TRUE! Login to Reply Heidi Sands Date: 1/29/2019 4:34:00 AM That is a good idea Caren. Thank you for taking the time to comment on my poems. It has been nice reading the comments :)
