I have been betrayed many times in my life. I know exactly how painful it is. That’s why in real life I choose to stay away from certain people. I don’t like to get close to anyone. I have 4 friends who I am really close too that I trust with my heart and respect.
I feel this poem and I feel your pain my friend.

Thanks so much, Charlie. You’re a good egg. I’m one of those morons who doesn’t mind getting close to people. Unfortunately, most people don’t like to get too close to me. 😛

I read, a tone of regret and a reluctant my fault. The poem scans loosely with tetrameter as prevailing meter.

I think betrayal is one of the very worst experiences in life

I absolutely agree, Tammy. It’s happened to me a few times, so I find that I tend to be a bit gun shy whenever I enter into any new relationship of any kind.

This is why I love fellow writers who nail down everything in life to examine before it escapes. And I get being gun shy, trust has to earned because it is worth that much. But it also feels really good that the people in my life are trustworthy and loyal. I just feel for anyone going through this.

Beautiful, sensual and eloquent words put together in a way that the poem is alive and breathes by itself. It touches me as it is about rejection because betrayal inevitably leads to that. And rejection is one of the things we all fear most and experience throughout our lives. I like the increasing harshness of this poem, where the line “a heart crashed hard like jigsaw clay” makes it reach the summit that is kept in the following stanza when we find out about the betrayal: “how could she love him more than me?” I also like the image of the frogs’ orchestra as well as the ending line “she’s not the whore… it’s me”.
