Betrayal Poem by Raymond Simmons
Betrayal
During my youth I was okay,
And tried to do things the proper way.
I was proud to be honest and straight,
Yet on one occasion I did deviate.
Dark temptation proved to be strong,
I did something I knew was wrong.
The worse part about such a sin,
Was that I did wrong to my friend.
When I recall my treachery
My heart feels shame and misery.
To betray a friend's trust in you
Is the lowest thing you can do.
I hid it well, she never knew,
But my insides were all askew.
Passing time can't change that event
My constant guilt is punishment.
My enlightened priorities
Presents me with this need to grieve.
I wish I could apologize.
Wish I could look into her eyes.
But the one thing that I still fear,
Is the pain within each sad tear.
I'll never have the nerve it takes,
To bear pain for two hearts that break.
A well texted and nicely thought out poem, embellished in poetic rhyme and rhythm. Deep feelings elegantly brought forth with insight. Thanks for sharing Raymond.
