Exceptional Sometimes, those who love us the most, hurt us the most. Lions in Sheep Clothing by Austin Yu Betrayal Poetry Contest contest entry

Deadly toxin jolts my body, cast by a dark sword of treachery. The deadly tonic snakes into my veins, releasing the venom ubiquitously  The knife pierces my tender soul and ignites my trust into shards of sable char My faith now led astray, and my heart wounded by lost reliance. Silver chains once knotted our hearts as one, now rust in despair And rips my heart into fragments, symptoms of betrayal.  Author Notes Betrayal hurts, and my poem illustrates how it felt for me, to the best of my ability.
