Best Betrayed Poems

I flew to Olympus, to find its heart,	
armour intact against Hades’ dark wrath.	
At birth the power of light made its start	  
as Homer's ghost sent me upon my path!	

Yet there I found only an empty throne	
where once Zeus in glory firmly reigned.	
So sad! For...

Once significant and alluring, your luster faded.
Perhaps it was the treachery in hollow eyes jaded.

Was there ever a light
in a soul dark as night?

Promises of love only heralded grief;
faith I once had turned to disbelief.

She was younger, pretty, but above all newer.
Agony in my heart...

I’m living in anticipation
With other cigarettes who are also growing impatient 
We’re waiting
Praying 
To be the next chosen one 
Now, the door opens and we’re soaked by the light of the sun
Screams of “PICK ME!, PICK ME!”
She plucks me from the bunch; I’ve never felt...

Betrayed Expectations 
    (Sonnet) 

I flew to Olympus, to find its heart	
armor intact against Hades' dark wrath.
At birth the power of light made its start 
as Homer's ghost sent me upon my path.  

Yet there I found only an empty throne

With loving heart and caring hands
I soothe your pain, I bathe your wounds
An ill wind blew and sapped your strength
There was not much that you could do.
Corruption, greed, no rule of law,
Unfair the treatment handed out.
Betrayed by those you trusted most
Who sold their soul for...

He knew his love betrayed him before he walked into the door
Her nervous behavior indicated that she still loved him
Or so he hoped.
He dipped a finger in her glass and moistened her lips 
Before gently pressing his against her quivering mouth
Her moan was enough
He knew
This...

You know how you get a feeling
When someone is lying to you.
But you keep making up excuses
Telling yourself its not true.

You convince yourself nothing happened,
No matter what you may feel;
Just close your eyes and pretend
There was nothing to conceal.

But in your heart you know
That you...

Injustices larger than life
Rage still trembling
Through my weary body
Still in total disbelief
The assault of my heart
My soul my life
My mind shattered in disillusion
Imploding my whole belief system
Betrayed
Feeling ever so vulnerable
Marooned
Disillusioned
Deeply hurt
Brutally attacked
With blows
Directly to the heart

You were my sister in Christ
In all that I do 
You have betrayed me 
Now, who do I turn to?

We hung out everyday, every night
We were best friends
Not knowing because of you
Our friendship would soon end

Over the years I couldn’t understand why you changed
Starting saying...

      "Betrayed by Love's Lie"



in quiet solitude reflection stirs
as soiled thoughts invade inner core of mind
a gentle heart, swallowed in grave, inters
beyond the golden twilight, peace to find.

promises vowed sway broken at dark seams
betrayed by lovely lies spoken sincere
a trusting...

I'm hated, frustrated, and mostly agitated
I'm feeling fated, unrelated, undated, and overrated

(Favoritism, a person's alcoholism)

I'm an anarchist
And I think I'm a masochist
Maybe YOU should perform an exorcist?

I wanna hit you with my fist
You're a never ending twist
I'm your belated friend
You make my life want...

I spend each wakeful night in search of evasive sleep.
    An unwelcomed vigil denies me peaceful rest.
I've need to bury his haunting specter somewhere deep;
    entombing forever my perpetual uninvited guest.

Close my weary eyes, appears the vision of his...

The thought of all trusts,

Was it all just rust?

The thought of all confidence,

Was it because of your insolence?

The thought of all friendship,

Was it all just dissonance?

Was it all just lies?

 

The thought of all immanence,

There was no innocence,

Was it all just imminent trust?

Was it all...

Fragile, but already broken.
Pieces gone, holes in my soul.
Knock me down with a feather.
Kill me with a whisper.
I'm draining the ocean a tear at a time
And I can't swim through the blackness.
Far away echoes of hope
Reverberate through my head
But are too weak to reach my...

How much do they know
Who are the blabbers
Who are the rat finks
It is my sister
Could bro be that low?

Is a rumor
A blatant lie
Fabrication
I start to yell

People laugh
Relatives
At outburst

Sheepish
I look
Downward

Sad...
