Trust and Hurt

Many times the ones we trust most are the ones who hurt us the most.
When trust is gone there is nothing left just a sad and painful mess.
That’s a lesson I learned so hard from all the god-forsaken things you have done.
I had your back; you had my soul and beat it till my blemished lips mouthed nothing but a loathing groan.

I never thought you destroy me so; you played with my emotions and snapped them like pencil
Not even to cry or give a care just took my mind damned it bare.
You try to turn it all around; put all the blame on me
By reminding me of what we use to be
You say “I had my reasons and I gave you chances” but you killed them all
So you sit there laughing your cursed laugh, as I slowly fall into the deep unknown.
I blame myself for this I guess… for I saw the green flame glowing in your glassy eyes
But I chose to devise for you to help you through the suppose “hell” you go through
I am stronger now and I suppose this is the time where I learn who my real friends are
I think its time I delete it all as I walk down this long dreary hall
Because the old me is gone
And everything this time is said and done
Said and done….
Said and done….

Note From Author: I wrote this poem about my best friend (of 9 years) who has been betraying me for almost that long. Since this year we are no longer friends… and she now torments me.

Great poem!… being sad about your friend. It sounds like you have been through a lot in your life. I really like the part “You say “I had my reasons and I gave you chances”.

This poem really related to how I felt and continue to feel after I was betrayed by my ex-fiancee. He put through very similar situations and emotions you mention in your poem. I continue to wonder if I will ever be able to love, trust or believe in the beauty of friendship and commitment or if I will always be suspicious, doubtful, cautious and scared of others. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and letting others they are not alone in their despair.

This poem is very deep, sad and touching. Unfortuntately we all have to be knocked down a few times to become stronger. It’s traggic when a friend or someone you love betrays you. Keep in mind “what doesn’t break you makes you”. Love and support, Rene

You should read my poem, Forever and a Lifetime, its in the fresh new poems category, I can really relate to this poem in some ways. my best friend and i have been through alot and we fight over stupid things. but i love her to death but one thing she doesnt do is betray me. but this really is a beautiful poem.
