Betrayal Poems
Losing Faith
by Lee-Ann Azzopardi
I have no more faith in you
I saw the injustices you brought to me
Laughed at my beliefs
And made fun of the things I do
You aren't the man I thought you were
That persona left when I got to know you
If I knew yr true self
I wouldn't even give you the time of day
But now, my heart is broken
And I cry for some solance

I could have never imagine he would do that to me. I was in my room dressing up just after showering. Lemmie take you back a bit,earlier that day I was at the farm on a supervisory duty where I ended up joining the casuals. So basically, I was really tired not to mention hungry and only a cold shower and a good meal could save me. I knew Tec wasn't at home since he had earlier mentioned that he was going to see his girlfriend so,definitely there was no food at home. Down the market I dragged myself and got a basket full of fruits and vegetables and headed home. It was dark, really dark.
I live in this mtaa where everybody knows everyone hence darkness gave me no chills,safety is guaranteed. I dropped the basket on the kitchen floor and hungrily grabbed a toast left on the plate over breakfast, that was good enough to get me showering. Past the corridors to the bathroom I went and took a quick one.
The front door opened and since only me and my brother Tec had the keys to the apartment, I did squeak so I continued dressing. With a loud bang, it was closed shortly. I have known Tec to be that guy who if he gets angry, everything and everyone around him will feel his wrath and anger. He is that one hot tempered dude who can do mass destruction within a minute so whenever he gets angry, distancing myself from him is what I know best. I didn't bother though, it was probably one of those days.

Echoes of broken belief
by siwar ben amara
I’ve walked this winding road, with faith by my side,
Believing in friendships, though many have died.
I saw a spark in you, or maybe just a flicker,
But even the brightest flames grow dimmer and thinner.
I held you close, through whispers and doubts,
Defending your name, while silencing shouts.
But life reveals what we often can’t see,
The heart’s true colors, its silent decree.

Realise not understand
by Femme Mcbridge
I can never be clever,
When I am ur lover,
With you wanting to be my master,
Whom I suspect to be a winger,
You encompass my life to be a thriller,
For people to Smule,
With a ban for smile,
A ban to be real me.
I decided to give cathedral thinking,
Longing for my Lochinvar,

Theater Of Life
by Ankwasa Harlord
Theater Of Life
We met as strangers stranded in the park,
Lonely as the night -
Wandering in wonder, will the train surface?
1:35am she thought to provide me warmth
Open arms, I drowned beneath her chest.
We sang, imitating the birds in the far away forest,
The wind sang along in uniformity, blended we thought!

Release Me
by Lee-Ann Azzopardi
Don't let me suffer like this
And let the tears break out
For they tighten yr grip
Release me from it
For you aren't worthy of love
Don't kiss my lips
It's a trap; hooking me onto you
Forever
I want to be free
But you keep holding on

Tasso's tiny needles
by Dimitris Boskainos
They say the waves at the shore, where foam meets the sand,
That once upon a time, no foam there did stand.
Until an old blind woman, knitting night and day,
Her sorrows and her joys of life in thread would lay,
Showed them to the sea, and the sea, in envy’s gleam,
Took up those crafts and donned them as foam’s white seam.
Upon the wet sand lay a ragged patchwork old,
Just enough for Tasso’s to sit, cross-legged and bold,
Knitting with her needles, tirelessly she toiled,

Sodom and Snakes
by Christine Kuruvilla
Vicious lies,
Faded by time,
Exist like green, scaled reptiles—
Slithering through camouflaged crime.
Etched in smoked veins,
Daggered through pink fold,
Leaving blemishes and stains,
And a soul wagered and sold.
