You’ll never know betrayal

when you look into a mirror

To see those sagging spots of skin

To see the wedge, that once was your chin..

You’ll never know betrayal

when you come back from the doctors

To know that you’re about to die

To count the days, that soon pass by

You’ll never know betrayal

when you go for an exam that once

To know your hands are trembling much

To see the ruthless clock, say lunch

You’ll know betrayal, on that day

when your soul tells you to help, to stay

But you look at your watch, and mutter in dismay,

God I’m late.. No time today

Because my friend, in the game of betrayal

The player and played have an intimate relation

They are both you

It’s a mutual decision

daily prompt
