Betrayal

BETRAYAL Thought I was a friend, Trusted you to a dead end, Clung to you with much ease, Like a hunting ghost would not cease, I saw the moon brighter, More to omen am a less fighter, Didn’t know a war was intact, Didn’t know it was all a freak act, You waited to “unflesh” my bones, Like a vulture you circled me patiently Then you attacked mightily like thunder, And sucked until you felt me shudder, A betrayer conquerors triumph was all I could think of, as I closed my eyes.
