Perfidious Testament

~ a rant on 'trust'

a dependable friend is a precious commodity

your perfidious words slayed my faith

testimony can be found written on the walls

should have known you were radioactive

by your past nefarious, grievous verbosity 

you corrupted every sentiment set forward

aspersions cast upon treasured love of words 

a bitter fire merely lit for public consumption

annihilation set upon your pithy foolishness

hard pill to swallow at the credence table

even the devil choked on your pretend tidbits

swallowed in agony on your lying misery 

keep your triple decked psycho to yourself

i may be broken but these cracks are uniquely mine

it was always about sheer joy of shared poetry

the lunatic in your head took a giant leap

landed in my cup of realistic doubt

bitter taste took a dive in my elixir

yet another painful lesson ingested

your drew your sniveling sword unjustly

then cowered amongst those you spewed upon

little do they know the wickedness of your ways

far be it for me to come to rescue any survivors

who'd listen to the likes of your grotesque tongue

put your big boy pants on, you fight like a girl...

who the F**K do you think you are?

Holy cow....let me take a few steps back so I dont catch any shrapnel from this explosive rant. Eeek....

Okay... we all know that relationships are never perfect. We may hurt another or they hurt us. When that happens time and space are needed to cool off. Then a sincere apology along with self responsibility is required. But even more important is an expressed intent not to break the trust again. I think the first two things come easy to people...because it gets them what they want. Its the third thing that many fail on. And often times its because they were only thinking of themselves and their needs in that apology and responsibility area. They said whatever they had to to fix things without thought to the behaviour that led to the trust issue in the first place. If the three steps aren't sincere and aren't applied fully the relationship is bound to fail. We live and we learn...or we choose a constant state of denial and misplaced blame. x

Never expecting perfection, just truth, compassion, and perhaps a bit of integrity...thanks muchly for your thoughts Red. x

Confronting a manipulative person for who they are after graciously capturing your trust through promised words and inflated promises, sentiments painted in the public for all to see only to be betrayed in the privacy of an intimate moment. Had to back away in order to not be caught in the tail of the storm, well spoken and expressed indeed!

[MsJewel]

Oh boy, remind me never to pee in your fruit loops.:) Seriously, I know all about being betrayed by someone you trusted, having your words twisted and being smeared in public, OH DEER do I! Big hugs. Whoever this is about, I pray it gets better, and with this poem, I am sure he got the message.

Bahahaha! Wowza, Frieda!! This is an explosive write! Powerful, emotional and raw! You made me want to crawl into that dark closet and lock the door not caring what might be inside.
Note to self: Don't f**k with Frieda!

Trust is something that too many take for granted. I am not one to trust many anymore. I absolutely adore this piece though because of how raw it is. You cut deep with your words without looking back. Fantastic write, Frieda!! xo (:

Nothing says "hot" like a Chili Bean wearing a sombrero! The fuse is quite long, but the damage is mighty impressive. Timing is the key with this fun friend.

I think, my dear, in this write you would qualify as a Chili bean wearing a sombrero. (:

[Avinash]

Tell us the name and address .. we will take care of the person... :)
Apart from that it is a beautiful poem which makes even agony feel sweet. You know when a pretty lady gets angry she gets more blushes and look even prettier. 100 roses to you :)

[Frieda P]

*smiling* here, you flatterer you. ;) Thanks so much Avinash & for the roses too. :)

It seems that human beings have their own versions of spider webs, and Venus’ flytraps. Both are irresistible to succulent forlorn flies looking for trust. I was inspired to write this tiny gift poem for you which you may keep as your own:

Trust

Plants and spiders must conspire to eat.
They must dangle trust as their main treat,
all their traps must be much more than sweet
camouflaging all of their deceit.

[Frieda P]

Ha oddly cute poem A, thanks for sharing.

[KWP]

Oh bugger - I don't own any big boy pants.... ha! and you say I know how to rant :)

'Never expecting perfection, just truth, compassion, and perhaps a bit of integrity...thanks muchly for your thoughts' not always as easy as it seems is it, your view of the world is different to every others, you have already learnt your lessons or perhaps rekindled them so your understanding is complete, I have learnt over the years that peoples definition of integrity differs, truth differs and certainly compassion ....

there must be a lesson in there for ya ... I hear the words in the poem loud and clear ... do you think that the local Mall has a Sale on Big Boy Pants ... and if they do, do you think I can get em in purple.... The my dear ... You and I can Jelly Wrestle x x x x ;)

[Frieda P]

Ha how can you not own big boy pants Betty?? Thanks for your thoughts here, and yes, I suppose you're right, again! ;) xo

[A. Amos]

Holy cow, now this is serious; who ever you wrote about you make the guy look like Lucifer:) As always purely magical write...

[Frieda P]

Ha come to think of it....grazie A.

[FlamingPhoenix]

I LOVE this and at the moment relate completely! Beautifully penned and angst perfectly captured! Your ability to capture the variety of emotion and the complexities of the human condition intrigues me to no end. Amazing work yet again!

Thanks FP, was having a moment.
