Betrayals Poem by Tatyough Terungwa Thomas

You held my hand and swore you' would stay,
Then turned your back and walked away.
Your words were gold, your heart was stone,
You left me bleeding all alone.
The trust I gave, you tore apart,
And left a scar upon my heart.
I learned that smiles can hide a lie,
And even stars can leave the sky.
Though betrayal made my spirit ache,
I will rise again, though bent and break.
For every wound, I will heal with time,
And turn my tears to strength sublime.
