A Traitor

By Edward Kiplagat

Dogged by confusion

I lost my intuition

Condemned to sorrow

I will always have yours lost straw

In you I thought I were a pillar

Never did I know I had befriended a heart killer

More poisonous of a deadly viper

Who could hurt even much deeper

You tipped mine heart with yours sharp dagger

Its pain I can withstand any longer

I guess I saw a gesture

Which portrayed yours picture

Saving grace being mine courage

I have got to put off this burning rage

Wide opened being the under-ward gate

I am like a cursed son of fate

Crying myself dry yours act I won’t erase

An ugly thing it was to showcase

Ignoring mine excruciating pain

Heartless you became like the man Cain

Silence now have become mine urgency

Sipping away all my energy

By my side I have several clergy

To have theirs advice

In protest to condemn yours vice

To you heartless being

One pound to do such a thing

The one who gave me a poisonous sting

I swear! You will one day be haunted to think

When you come across mine poem written in ink
