Wine-Stained Loyalties
Celestine 2005 (Jeddah)
I set fire to the world
Then cried for the ashes
Burned with the embers
Bled through the gashes
Their absence in my heart
Like the daggers they would throw
Ivy of the family tree
Strangling as it grows
You wont see it coming
Slithering in your wake
Claws and fangs and poison love
Smiles and laughs all fake
Compliments infront of you
Oaths of loyalty they swear
Backstabbers with their wines in hand
And clinking silverware
Blood is thicker than water
Everyone likes to know
But blood of the covenant is thicker, in truth,
Than water of the womb
About this poem
This poem was written in a state of feeling betrayed by people who were previously close to my heart and whom I considered family. I have also wanted to write something that gave off a fantasy vibe and I took this opportunity to do so.
