Betrayal
Betrayal
I am not now he,
That once new of thee
Lost to the shadows,
Of memories past,
Naked;
Once we stood,
Staring touching/caressing
under moonlit skies,
respect left; as we explored
every crevous, and open pore
Lying embraced and baring hearts,
Embroiled, within a tempestuous affair,
Promise’s made/shared/ aired,
But ye succumbed,
And fell to temptation
Between the lies and deceit,
You plied and
Instilled at my feet
For vow’s that were pledged,
Yet your words flowed red,
Like Judas; you gave
Sealing – with a kiss
From the angel of death,
It was as though -
You’d crucified me,
Pained, mentally slain,
Weathering years,
To the distant
Far off Plaines,
I am but a shadow,
cast within the shadows,
lost to the sands of time
locked within the memories
of your mind.
