Pain of Betrayal

Betrayal !thou art so faceless,
Thy royal robe shines without light,
As thy deeds left many speechless,
Love and hatred struggled for a right,
Then comes judgement which makes your arts shameless,
Your broad shoulder will bear this plight.
	
A friend on whom my life depends,
to pretend to be from above,
As my confidence in him ascends,
In deep red sea ,he drowned my love,
As I slip into abyss; my soul descends,
and my zeal removed like hand glove.
