Betrayal Poem by Doom & Gloom

Betrayal

Rating: 3.6


Good day to thee my worthless friend, I see you've shown your full intent
While others rally to defend, no one knows where you went
Hello to thee my part time chum, I see you fled the dragons lair
While former friends die one by one, they turn for help but you're not there
Greetings to thee my life long mate, we trusted you with all our hearts
We remembered you in final thoughts, as we watched ourselves get ripped apart
Goodbye to you fair-weather friend, was good until you turned and fled
Think of us from time to time, the ones you loved then left for dead

LOVE the intro! Such sarcasm 'good day to thee my worthless friend' i daresay it should be the title and Oft repeated in the mantra! Wish i had created the line myself!

I find this poem really interesting. Who is the friend that is portrayed in this poem? Because he(it?) hasn't just hurt you, but also numerous others that was 'left for dead' by him. What did he do to inflict so much suffering(death?) and hurt on so many people? Hmm...: -)

What is betrayal? Lemme hear YOUR version, and does it mean someone is 'betraying' if they sleep with someone else when they're 'with' someone they 'say' they 'love? ' What is that considered?

Seems like a very effective Reverse Psychology to me to attract attention from friends who start to ignore our presence. Very good piece though.10 for me.

Your wit and sarcasm made me laugh. Many of us have non-friends deserving of those exact words.
