Betrayal...

Betrayal...

A Poem by micky

Betrayal...

I see the fire start to burn
Everything that we have worked so hard to get
As our lives fall to ashes along with our souls

As I watch my stomach starts to turn...
This is our nightmare we will never forget
The heat is closing in, all that will be left is coals

Suddenly came the storm
As the humidity increases and the air burns the fire bright
Surrounded by colors of every rainbow 

Tomorrow when we have nothing left we will mourn  
But now I pray that we will be alright
Then you say there's no point we have nowhere to go

And this fire contains us once more
With no air left to breathe 
Suddenly we are alone

Then in the fire appeared a door
It said choose your path, and you chose to leave
Now I am on my own

I hope you live with guilt and feel hate
I hope you live knowing you left me to die
I hope they see through your broken story

And you will live knowing it's too late
Your tears are pointless, so don't bother to cry
Your time will come and it will be cruel, just know I died in glory

Man , lately your subjects Micky are related to pain and suffering. Ironic that most of of the time pain and suffering rules our lives yet we don't want to acknowledge them because we risk becoming to heavy and to grey to grim and deprressed. But here you have done a good job at adding emotinal weight and it makes you sink at the end in silence.

Thankyou

I felt a lot of emotion in this one. Betrayal followed by apathy rising up from the speaker. If the person is to leave then fine, but they shouldn't expect to be welcomed back or dwelled upon, because they were the one that chose to leave. Well done.

I really enjoyed this one to die with glory, while the other is left in shame and guilt for the rest of their life.

Thank you so much Mikey :)
Can feel the pain and the angst in this Micky... Out of all the ones you have done on this subject, this is by far the best I have read.. there are a few little mistakes, but it flows well and drives the point home.. the emotion is powerful and the reader feels it in every line...

few things I noticed...

"Everything that we have work so hard to get"... think you meant "worked" here

"Then you say there's no point we have know where to go".. did you mean "nowhere"?

"And you will live knowing it's to late"... think it should be "too" instead of to....
overall well done.. no that you have this out, would love to see more positive uplifting, different pieces from you.. :)
