Betrayal

Words spoken like honeyed hot tea,
Sweet in taste ,then a blistered tongue.
I felt this betrayal, festering my soul
its aftermath oozing like fluid pus

The putrid smell , drenched in every fiber
A stench even perfume cannot expunge

Withdrawing inwards a shield against pain
But even there her words are not stilled
A question loomed , echoing in this darkness
My futile search for some understanding

Her words dont reach me i live in a haze
Her face observed but it doesnt hold

As reality showed its gruesome face
realisation imposed like a ringing alarm
I had to move on, but my feet felt like lead
