Betrayal Poem by Tebogo Angela Poen

I confided, trusted and hoped
I gave u the knife, did not think you'd use it
I turned my back and closed my eyes to show u how much I trust u
Did not think u are capable of stabbing me in the back
I had hoped to wake up from this nightmare
Hoped it was the 1st of April
Hoped you'd come and apologise
But none of those took place
I guess it's safe to say I was young and stupid; naïve as they put it

I confided, trusted and hoped
But all that was crushed into pieces
Pieces that I cannot mend
Now I can't confide in anyone
I can't trust anyone
I don't even keep my hopes high on anything
You took all that away
You have fooled me
Your innocent face,
Your head nodding in pretendance of understanding my story
Your comforting hands
Told me something different
A complete opposite of ur character
The reason I confided, trusted and hoped
But I can't do that anymore
One stab is enough
