POEM STARTER

Submitted by Kell.

Write a poem which describes the feeling of betrayal.

You could write in any genre or style, but use this as the central theme.

In Moments, In Moments, In Seconds

In moments I think of our friendship

How something so good went so fast

I blinked to see it disappear

I blinked to let a tear fall down

Who knew a stab in the back could hurt so much?

In moments I think of our happiness

How a smile could turn into a frown like a snap

I took a breath while you grin

I took a breath while the knife sank in

Who knew that a heart could easily break like glass?

In seconds I try not to think of anything

Thoughts of us are echoing around my mind

I tried to throw them away

I tried to light them on fire

But who knew that really I just want to reminisce?

To remind me of what we were

To remind me how we met

How we became best friends

To remind me what happened

What tore between us

And I wish I could change your mind

Because in moments and seconds

You can think of me

You can think of what we had

And do you really want that gone?

But you burned me with your flame

Making me melt like a candle

While your figure stands tall

In moments I think of our friendship

In moments I think of our happiness

In seconds I try not to think of anything

As you betraying me finally sinks in

How could you do something like that?

Stab a knife in my back and twist it

With a grin upon your face

In seconds trust is gone

And I blink.

Blink.
