Betrayal

Betrayal

A Poem by Tai Ryens

Should painful weeps escape me

As I recognize the figure behind the gun?

Whose expression is as betraying

As the deceased star within our sun?

 

You, my love, have left

Scarlet footprints across my stomach;

Then tossed me out of your heart,

Watching as I plummeted.

 

You cleared my rainy skies,

Only to leave me with hail;

I gave you everything, only to be

Left not a soul, but a shell.

Very emotional poem that portrays your feelings well. I am very sorry if this is a true story. Very well written.

Second stanza; "Scarlet footprints across my stomach". Oh, I got so excited after reading that line, and that whole stanza. You just made my day, it is so beautiful; the constant underlying sadness that is paved over with good memories, "You cleared my rainy skies". Ryan, I applaud you, it is always a joy to read your rhymes.

Very well done my friend. While the rhyming is a little different in this than what I'm used to seeing from you it isn't a bad thing at all! Great work!

"Should painful weeps escape me
As I recognize the figure behind the gun?
Whose expression is as betraying
As the deceased star within our sun?"

I adore that stanzas. The rhyme scheme is best there. As I read the poem further, I notice that the rhyme scheme isn't as good. Might I suggest sharper rhymes? Other than that, you're vocabulary is incredible. Beautiful work, Ryan.

This is such a beautiful poem. I love it because it skips past the cliche that most other poems of this nature have. Well done!
