Betrayal Poems | Examples of Betrayal Poetry

IT AIN'T TOO LATE

It started off so well, so good,
Every language we spoke, understood.
Forever, we thought, it would last,
Yet somehow, those moments slipped past.

We carried happy souls inside,
But now we ride a different tide.
To make amends, it’s not too late,
Yet pride keeps tossing feelings like fate.

Yes, things aren’t well, yet we let them slide,
Waiting for truth, while we

Wishing

George was having a secret love affair
Breaking his marriage vows without a care
A cheater deceiving
A husband believing
That his wife was totally unaware.

But George wife was beginning to suspect
The doubt, the not knowing and disrespect
So she hired a P.I.
To go spy on her guy
But felt uneasy in what to expect.

George phone was tapped and pictures were

My Wife's Affair - poem 10

Empty Guinness bottles
reminders of what 
I am trying to forget.
Litter my family room table
like cockroaches 
that are not afraid of the light.

Hurting

My body is full of a terrible pain 
But it is not of the physical kind
It’s a darkness that is haunting me 
And it tortures my soul and mind

It has turned my life into turmoil 
Becoming something that I hate 
I would do anything to change it 
But I feel that it has become too

LOVED YOU

I 'have loved you
For years, but
You showed me
Your true colors
Making you worst
Then ever

you have something to tell me

you have something to tell me
                          before afterglow
because I have a man’s feelings
           you can’t buy it from me
that even

True Friends

I always knew you’d be there with your caring and concern.
I always knew you’d have my back when I had nowhere to turn.
I always knew I could count on your support no matter what.
All these things I always knew, but somehow you forgot.
Each day I’ve waited patiently for just one little word,
but the days go

The Real You

Maybe it is not fair,
that I have been 
clinging to an idea of you—

because maybe
the real you—tempered between
my fits of desires and invention—
carries less music,
walks a busier street,
is too mundane—too prosaic
to haunt me the way 
my dreams cruelly
reimagine you.

Fomes and Flame

I crave moments
when my terrified side
is extinguished by longing—
when I willingly share
fervent fires with a
mouth made of kindling…

equally languishing lips
that sear ache upon ache—
until even fear tastes
like love worth keeping.

          **********

The wind remembers what I tried to forget—  
a voice in the fire, a name in the rain.  
I stood on the edge of the world I had built,  
watching it crumble,

Shoes shopping

I dislike wasting my time shopping for shoes
The man who wrote Wasteland, a famous poem
He is known for this; he did like boots too for walking
He did indeed, and many other things too
I, when I had a bike, cycled through the Wasteland
a domestic landscape growing beautifully wild
I don`t see it now, there is a

But Now I Can't

I ain’t gonna to prison babes, for something I didn’t do
O’ no babes, not when the real blame all falls with you
You left me loving you, yet ya destroyed all of my trust
Ripped my heart wide open, then you left it in the dust

I can want you as much as I can want you, but

Knew too much

Alberto Nisman didn't know the danger he would enter
when he looked into the bombing of a Jewish center
He said president Christina was hiding the truth
he had the goods, would soon show the proof.

He was supposed to appear in Congress, but hours before
Somehow hitmen got by his door
He knew too much, so bad guys moved fast
If

The New Cut

Every snip feels off.
I stare at my own hair.
The sides are sharp today.
The top does not feel right.

I run my fingers through.
It is different, maybe odd.
I pause, not sure I like it.
I hope it grows on me.

Maybe they will like it.
It could be a better look.
Could even catch some smiles.
The girls might notice too.

The mirror

FlipFlop

You make me happy/
You make me sad.
You treat me like a queen/
You hurt me bad.
You want me to stay/
You tell me to leave.
You say you trust me/
You don't believe me.
You're caring and sweet/
You're cruel and degrading.
See,I'm on my feet/
Now feel my love fading.
