The taste of betrayal

Cloying and sweet

A brilliant smile cloaking

The blistering heat

Trust! Trust whom? Trust what?

Such an outdated emotion

Obsolete

Ripped to infinite shreds

Forced into a never ending ocean

Of tears, discontent

Maddening fear

A sister, a brother

A mother, a friend

Or a lover?

One can never know

How deep the rabbit hole goes

Staining the fabric of my soul

Adding colour to my world

Twist the knife

To end my life

Remorse and pity ostracized

Hatred ensconced in a knowing smile

No more players in this game

Hurt, anger, shock, shame

Rejection

dejection

No end in sight

Fight? But for what?

A premier spot in this web of deceit

this triangle of God knows what?

I’d rather accept defeat
