Lovern Naidoo Poet Ballad

Betrayed

Betrayed
First it was the late nights, 
Then came the big fights along with the boozing and beating.
I usually kept quiet then turned of the light when he fell asleep.
I loved him oh! Yes I did but he was just like all the rest.
I knew he he was having an affair and prayed it was just a nightmare,
He cheated and manipulated me and thought it was cool but it only made me look like a fool.
He said he loved me but needed space but we all knew he was just a waste.
He roamed around with every girl in town and then came home with a huge frown,
Late at night when he entered the room,he always smelt of women's perfume.
One day when I couldn't take it anymore,
I packed my bags and walked through the front door,
Now I am all alone but at least I am free from his evil world of
Betrayal.

I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like.
