Heidi Sands Poet Triolet

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

Bette Bavington January 30, 2019 at 12:48 PM Betrayal is such a horrible thing. It has an impact on peoples lives that is so strong that some don't recovery from it. Nicely done. Heidi Sands January 30, 2019 at 12:59 PM You are right Bette. It is horrible with huge impact. Thank you for your comment on this :)

Caren Krutsinger January 29, 2019 at 4:17 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! Heidi Sands January 29, 2019 at 4:34 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 :)

Swetha Vangaveti January 28, 2019 at 6:00 AM Betrayal is more dangerous than any other form of hurting .. it kills ... Your words express all of that pain. Heidi Sands January 28, 2019 at 7:45 AM Thank you for visiting this poem and commenting Swetha :) I appreciate it.
