Strength of your betrayal

Tears falling so slowly
Tenderly sliding down my face
I shudder and take a breath
I make it a deep one
Broken inside
Cracking on the outside

It's been along time coming
But now I realize
That the world is built of betrayals

I look up at the walls of my room

So long ago
Where I'd spend time with him
Playing video games
Studying
Doing homework
This room was full of color
Bright purple walls
A vibrant pink bed
This room was full of life
Of laughter
Of love

Of love

I now look up at the walls of my cell
Where video games haven't been touched in a month
Books are only read out of necessity
Homework only part of a routine
The walls are gray
My bed is colorless and cold
This room is full of hate
Of tears
Of pain

Of pain

You walked away
This betrayal

Why?
Is there an answer?

Or just a question?
Why break me?

Why?

Of love
Of pain
This betrayal
Is there an answer
Why break me?

Why?

The world is built on betrayals
The world is built on hate

Betrayal leads to hatrid
But for me
Hatrid leads to strength

I have the strength
To still love you
To smile evey time I see you
To wave and say hello

I have the strength
To cause you pain
And that's all the strength I need

The strength of your betrayal

    I deffinitly like this. Something different from most of the stuff I'm getting. The repetition was used well. It enhanced your poem greatly. This had an amazing flow. It was like reading butter. If that makes sense. The topic was cliche but you presented it to me in a beautiful way. Kudos
