Betrayal

Betrayal by Bubbles Kandhari

There is an empty feeling in my stomach

My heart is in my mouth

My head is spinning and very light

My legs have a trembling bout.

Shock is written on the face

Grief is deep-set in the eyes

Hands are shaking violently

Lips are quivering unknowingly.

Face is stark white with fright

Tears flowing incessantly

Heart is in a state of disbelief

Mind in a great turmoil.

Is this the state of those betrayed?

In love or life or any field

Betrayed by those in whom they implicitly trust

People closest to the heart they thought.

Can they reduce you to this insanity

Why, pray why are such people left to exist

Perhaps to re-assess the values of humanity.
