Beautiful Scars Poet Rhyme

The Worst Betrayal, Suicide

It may sound selfish that I felt betrayal when you died, 
            but you vowed to never act upon those urges once more.
You lied time and time again, and o, how I vastly cried-
that last time I knew was different than before. 
                        You deceived me the moment you said goodbye in vain, 
now only heartbreaking memories of duplicity remain. 
I try to move on without anxiety, try not to complain,
      but a tragic breach of faith of was tragically conveyed.
            O, how I wish you would have felt the love and stayed-
                        you knew how to find happiness, you were just so afraid. 
So now I’m girdled in woe since you committed suicide, 
            left despondent and grief-stricken from this severe abhor.
      You shadowed me like midnight cascading in disdain-
            I feel utterly abandoned…FOR IT WAS ME WHO YOU BETRAYED.

Jan Terry November 30, 2018 at 5:37 PM I like the cadence of this as well as the meaning. It could very well be a rap song. I hope you didn't write this from personal experience though. So sad to think so. Beautiful Scars December 3, 2018 at 5:58 AM yes it is about my sister who took her life 12/31/10. It still haunts me. thank you :)-luloo
