Betrayal



This world is a betrayer!
I gave in to a hope I had never seen
I indeed anticipated the best of me
but it is never all heavenly.
seeing the false color fading out
endless promises falling apart;
cheaters running across,
betrayers roaming around
Ain't this a crime for the liberty of emotions,
Breaking one's heart into many gradients?
world, you are a traitor in my heart
you don't know how much I am hurt

About this poem

I wrote this poem to express how this world is filled with people we cannot trust. This poem also reminds me that I have been betrayed once but never repeat the same mistake again.
