Despicable.
Vreni

Betrayal’s Price

Imbibed illusion, melee of forgotten
Raped inhibitions, haze of rotten.
Innocence lost in merely a second,
Drunken lust a force to be reckoned.
Uncounted outcomes foresee bitter end,
Dead to the world, without any friends.
Stumble on trust, the scattered dreams,
Sounds of life ripped apart at the seams.
Look backwards in time, aghast at the sight,
Shame-ridden loathing fitfully light.
Erratum confusion committed within,
Conspicuous craft of Ultimate sin.
Eternal attendant’s refusal to learn,
A place in hell you’ve dutifully earned.

peanogrl83: I love this piece. The words bring such vivid images into my head..Fantastic piece of writing. Whoever this person is, is obviously a horrible human being.

this is a wonderfully written piece... emotion radiates from it, greta work, i agree with AF that it conjures up mental images.

Great vocabulary used here, the poem is excellent.

Thanks to all that replied....

Dopey - As you already know whom this is pertaining to .....they didn't betray me, but rather themselves. Mistakes are made. Consequences met. Life goes on...

Anonymous - Quite the contrary, the person this is about is far from a horrid human being, they just made a horrid mistake that's effects have rippled throughout the lives of those around them.

Lake - thanks for the compliments, mi amigo.
Same to pixie!

Great post, betrayal to oneself is terrible...  it is hard to come to grips with yourself afterwards too...  I hope everything works out for the best for you!!

Dont believe what ur eyes r telling u they only show limitation. Look with ur understanding, find out what u already know & u will see the way to fly

let's get this straight. I did nothing wrong nor betray myself....This poem is NOT about me.  Okeydokey? Are we clear on this? NOT ME.

I'm almost afraid to reply too     Well Vreni, sorry if i misunderstood your poem.  But to me it seems like some people got drunk and stupid things happened, or someone got drunk and got taken advantage of.  I'm leaning more into the second one cause that's more of a betrayal to me, the first one is more like irresponsibility in both sides.  I'd love for you to explain what's going on.  Sorry, I'm not here to pry into your personal life, you don't have to if you don't want to.  it's just that reading the replies to your poem has made me so curious.< !signature-->

acire - this has gotten touchy very quickly, there are legal rammifications now if I publicly air anything that remotely resembles details.  I was just clarifying the fact that this poem was NOT about me...and that I did not betray myself, nor did anyone betray me. For everyone else's benefit, the events that unfolded occured at a New years eve party...and I was home....talking to Dopey, actually..lol. (hence, I was not involved)  The poem is about a FRIENDS self-betrayl. They didn't betray me, they betrayed themselves...and THEY were betrayed by another. I am straightedge, so naturally, others impression that this was about myself bothered me (as alcohol is involved and the events that unfolded were greatly influenced by the involved parties' decision to drink  )...  This is making little sense. Oy vey, I'll just send you an email, okay acire? lol

Everybody......no worries mmmmkay? The poem is great and i think that the general bulk of meaning is well described within the poem, which is BETRAYAL. So yea.....no worries guys........mmmkay?

This was very good! I like your style, but I don't like the way  you view your work   Don't take that wrong-- Your work is GOOD and you get VERY good replies from fellow poets! You just don't give YOURSELF the credit you deserve for your talent... where is that confidence, huh? HUH?! *LOL* GREAT JOB!!
