The taste of betrayal, like bitter ash,
A once-sweet love, now sullied and dashed,
With wounded heart, I choke and gasp,
At memories of a bond that couldn't last.
Like wine turned sour, trust now decayed,
The flavor of deceit, so cruelly displayed,
A banquet laid waste, a venomous serenade,
Whispers of treason, forever replayed.
In quiet moments, I search for reprieve,
From the acrid sting of a love deceived,
Yet, through the heartache, a strength conceived,
Rising above, as new flavors weave.

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

Nice piece😉❤️
Loved the rhyme scheme you used —as well as all the "flavors" betrayal took on here, a great take on the challenge prompt!
Love it! Great idea for a poem for the Challenge :)
