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.
