Bitter Trust Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Dancing on shores of loneliness, inner sadness bounces
along upon waves of reckoning.

Motives drowning beneath the salty water, reprieve is no
longer possible.

Relentlessly storming thoughts and images, hiding within,
with a battering-ram like fortitude.

Leaving nothing in it's wake, perpetrating the demise of
life as it has always been known before.

Capturing the likeness of impossibilities at a glance,
tripping forward, alighting in a trance.

There are no longer any chances of finding peace and
tranquility on this earth, for all have forsaken their
friendship and gone away.

Bitterness of betrayal and abandonment sits with me now
and will do so always.

Recognition of hopes and dreams have died with the lie of
friendship, truth and honesty.

Once there was a possibility of trust, but now there can
never be again, all has been negated by the person who
supposedly was teaching me.
