Notes About The Poem

Betrayal by Max Burchett

Betrayal by Max Burchett

by Maxwell Burchett

Only those completely trusted,
Can completely betray.
Trust gained at great cost,
The one treasure once lost
That can never be recovered.

Betrayal leaves a stain,
A shadow on the heart.
Trust once lost, rarely regained.
Never to return, faith and trust depart.

This is heartfelt... Time heals, but does not forget. Moving forward with lessons learned, gaining new memories help fade the pain. Nicely written, Ed
