Betrayal


Carving out a path to freedom
To have it denied
Friends who seek to save me
Leave me behind
I fight to understand
Where loyalties lie
Why so many should have to die
But I see in reflections
Returning in their eyes
Sending back my pain
I am but blue rain

  2. Not every friend can withstand the test. And that is painful.

  3. most reflect who they are
    can not even get a glimpse of you or your needs
    'friend' is a huge and intimate sharing
    Your poem is deep and moving
