Betrayal.

“Betrayed”.. Mathew Dorabiala.

A Betrayal.

It’s a terrible realisation, a sense of betrayal,

When someone special, in whom you had feelings,

Reveals to you their other face, and in disgrace,

You cannot but turn away, shamed that you once embraced,

To your heart..their heart, in encompassing compact,

In whom you whispered and shared sensitive secrets,

To then see them evolve into another person, who,

Now appears more inline with a group you eschew,

Being part of the swollen, swirling morass of “the mob view”.

“The mob view”..where nothing is sacred, save bigoted opinion,

Never to bestow on a lesser minion what is best kept,

As revered text and public view one’s own personal bias pet,

While the other side of argument is granted little respect,

And the whole swilling mass self-congratulates in cruel effect!

**

So you feel you have to leave the companionship behind,

Forsaking those memories that gentle sentiment reminds,

Surrender to fate, all feelings of cause for regret,

And move swiftly away from such dis-ease..lest it infect!
