Betrayal

Surrounded by numerous faces
An intangible  feeling lingers
Lost in this treacherous world
Of a nightmare such as this

You were my strength,
My shield in the tumultous rain
In your presence I had peace
Safe in your warm embrace

In an instant it vanished
A figment of my imagination
You became a vile creature
My handsome prince disappeared 

The same familiar hands
Which gave me comfort
Now stung like a wasping bee
Scotching my very soul

A willowy shadow of sadness
Eyes Erupted like a big dam 
Big droplets hit the counter-top
Beside the shattered glass

The pain pierced my soul
Plunging me into a bottomless pit
Drowning in the deep despair
Of your great betrayal

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
