Notes About The Poem

" LOST LOVE " MY PHOTO, ©

Betrayal Iv

He constructed
A magnificent wall around him
A huge impenetrable wall
An invincible wall
For
He wished to protect and defend
At all costs
And for all time
The most precious gift of all:
His love.


Innumerable battles he gave.
He was hurt,
He was injured,
He bled almost to death
But
He stood his ground
Never did he retreat.
Never was he defeated.
Never did he surrender
Thus
He kept fighting   
For her
For him
For them!

 
What an irony, though,
The proud wall, surprisingly, fell  
In the course of a single night.
Not to an outside enemy
No, nobody could do it, I swear,
But
To an enemy from within.

You see, my dearest friend,
The enemy was his most trusted ally: 
The one he loved!

Tom Cunningham April 22, 2021 at 5:34 AM A betrayal often comes when you're least expecting it and its even worse when someone that you love and trust betrays you. The only one you can really trust is God. Tom Demetrios Trifiatis April 22, 2021 at 5:37 AM Absolutely, my dearest friend, Tom. He never betrays us but, alas, we often betray Him. Thank you for your kind visit and comment. Blessings
