Betrayal
Submersion and sinking and
Freezing of time
Engulfed by emotion and
Strangled by rhyme.
A wave. An eruption
I’m plunged into hell
Peering up at the sky
From the pit of a well.
Submerged in this feeling
That can’t be defined
The shock of the blow
Taking over my mind
Unable to order the
Thoughts in my head
In a daze. In a trance.
Emotionally dead.
Rereading the letter
Again and again
In desperate search of
A cure for the pain.
Betrayal
Is burning the words on the page
As silence gives birth to
A terrifying rage.
Submersion and sinking
I’m flooded by words
And drowning in emptiness
Unseen and unheard.
