BETRAYAL IS CARVED IN A CRACKED WINDOW PANE;
A TOUCH OF ARSNIC IN THE FINEST CHAMPAGNE.
BETRAYAL SLEEPS IN MOMENTS OF LUST;
IT'S A CHINK IN THE ARMOR OF ALL THAT WE TRUST.

BETRAYAL IS NOT WHAT I DO TO YOU.
IT'S A BRILLIANT RAINBOW IN STORMS THAT ARE NEW.
BETRAYAL IS NOT WHAT WE DO AT ALL;
IT'S THE BUILDING OF TOWERS FOR THE SAKE OF THE FALL.

Betrayal is a symptom of total indifference, betrayers often don't even notice that they are doing it! I liked the poem.

On occasion a well written poem accidentally slips past the usually eager eyed members of this site, passing with little comment. It is not done on purpose, it is usually a consequence of the number of good poems being posted and is generally rectified in time by being found and sent back to the top, to receive the comments it deserves.

This is such a poem, and I am sending it back up for another try.
