Betrayal
Difficult recovery from betrayal58 total reviews
Comment from Natali Holden
Betrayal is difficult in any case, but all the worse from someone you love. "Long Gone" is beautiful and goes amazingly with your poem. "recovery will not be easy this time". Well said, and she will do it alone because she would have a hard time trusting after how he betrayed her. Wonderfully written!

Never easy to be betrayed by someone you care about.
Well written poem covers this theme spot on.
Recovery, in this situation, will not be easy.

Betrayal on any front Hurts so much, it takes a very long time to come to terms with it and be able to move on. I enjoyed the power of emotion you managed in your short verse. very nice!!

Oh, my God! The Arthur wrote, " Alone - - recovery will not be easy this time!"
Sounds like the echo's of my scream, "bouncing along the hallways of my void!" Been
there, done that, my dear friend. The Artwork by; paraisle, is awesome. The pink
roses say, "two, and yet, only one remains!" Gee-whiz! I looked here, there, almost
everywhere and yet, could not find a star. "Oh, now, I remember," I whispered. Walking out onto the deck, I saw the star in the east and wished it down. I am
putting it with the other five, "and sending them your way." When the sun rises in the east tomorrow, "Please! Smile for me, and sing a happy song. God bless!

I did smile a lot today. Went to my church where I have many friends and associates, dressed to the nines and sang loudly to all the hymns. Thank you for star hunting to find me a sixth star. You seem to be a lovely man. livelylinda

Hi Linda:
This is a sad free verse poem but deals with the subject of betrayal and the difficulty to move past it in a realistic manner. That is never an easy feeling to surmount and move past, almost like climbing mountains, the effort is that great!
Thank you for sharing. The presentation is excellent.

I like how you expressed the pain of betrayal and the very natural response to protect oneself in a "cocoon" and "silence." It's good to write through the silence and connect with others who know the pain.

lyenochka: it does seem to help to expel the nasty onto a piece of paper/internet. Helps cleanse the soul. Thank you for reading. livelylinda

Recovery from betrayal is never easy. It takes a great deal of effort and even then the scabs always come off and sometimes they bleed. There is so much pain to deal with.

Comment from Pearl Edwards
A follow on from the previous poem I've read. Very appropriate artwork with the wilted roses, and the wilted emotions described in this emotional free verse. Well done and thanks for sharing,
cheers.

I have to give you six because I genuinely felt the pain. The cocoon of sadness, I know it well and it feels just like that. A wonderful poem.
