Betrayal

Ash Douglas #amwriting, blog, mental health, Moments, Poetry November 19, 2019 1 Minute

Between fact and failure
I lay face down in muddied water
Neck broken, heart still
My sweat unrecognized, salts cold blood
For I am left behind
just like others
find me beneath the gallows
…at first sign of weakness
they will sip their drinks, sip faster
at the feet of false gods
in the name of the blinding rich
