About the Poem

Betrayal of a friend's feelings, whether intentional or not, can rip friendship apart, and leave both feeling empty. I hurt someone I care about very much, and the pain was too great for her to bear. Her friendship is like a shooting star flaring briefly across the heavens, a moment in time that I will treasure forever. Maybe, with time, the garden where our friendship grew will blossom again. Do I respect her wishes and never talk to her again, or do I try to make things right? I don’t know. Until I figure that out, this poem is my emotional release.

Betrayal

by Dan McDonald

An echo fades into the night,
an eerie mournful sound.
A shooting star disappears from sight,
and I crumble to the ground.
There is no life within this garden;
my sobs are the only sound.
I have poisoned the honeyed fountain
where your love could be found.

Dazed, I stare at the stars above,
my grieving howls fill the night!
Unintended betrayal of love
has hidden you from my sight.
I remember how it used to be
when we shared our fears and delights.
You are a treasured friend to me.
How can I make things right?

Feeling afraid, cold and lonely,
I long to tell you how I feel,
but you don’t want to hear me.
The pain for you is much too real.
Should I back away and build a wall
and block away how I feel?
Or, should I give you a call?
We both need some time to heal.

An echo fades into the night
as our friendship disappears.
How do I know what is right?
How can I ease my fears?
If I do call you again,
would the old wounds reappear?
I can’t stand to cause you pain.
Hurting you again is my worst fear!

I looked at this poem because I was searching for a poem that would express the way I feel right now, and when I found this one, I had a case of the Mondays, or as it's really called, I started to cry.

Kelsey

Sundus

That was awesome. personally, I have pretty much the same problem. My friend and I had a big-shot a while ago. Well i was real mad . buh i dunno anymore. buh well. i dont think i will go bac cuz well. a space kinda created cuz she found herself a guy, to which she doens't admit is the reason to cause a change in out relationship. Anyhow. it was lovely. said a lot. i was searchin poems on betrayal. buh honestly. i have agony to present in a very hateful manner. So yea. u show quite much of love in your friendship. ive had many problems. uhh. so. well my advice wud be if you wanna talk. wait a while man. cuz space and time are things that turn the coldest love into sorrowful hate. SO ya. tc. eZZzz.

Cindy

This poem reminds me of my friendship and how my friend betrayed me. I would never betray my friend but what my friend did to me was painful. The worst part is I still have to face her everyday in school. Every time I see her, the painful memories and all the happy memories that makes what she did even more painful flood back and I just can't stand it. I want to say something but I don't know if I should. I don't know what she'll say to me. I don't know what will happen. That makes me scared. I can't face her and yet I have to. Everyday I see her is one more time that I have to suffer. Every time I see her I always wonder why she would do such a thing. Yet I'm afraid to ask her, for what she might say might stab me in the heart, again.

deaira

it was a great poem and it touched me because i lied to my BEST friend and know she acts like im not even there i miss her so much and know i did her wrong but dont under stand why she wont give me another chance i dont know wat to do call her or leave it alone so basically this poem shares my life or at least a BIG part of it! THANK YOU* ps beatiful poetry why did you write it?

natasha

your poem means every thing to me. you see, i did this horrible thing to my dearest friends, the few girls i trusted ,they meant the world to me! i cant believe that i had done such a thing! they hated me for weeks. and now they just ignore me. when i see them laugh i wish i was there. but now i know i'll give them each a copy of your poem. and they'll know how sorry i am. ! GREAT POEM!

elli

I really loved your poem, it reminded me of all of the poems I have written about a friend I lost; that I pushed away. It helps me out of the gloom when I see someone else writing about something. kindof along the lines of what I am going through.

Kat

I love this poem! My 2 best friends in the whole world did that to me and this poem realy says what it feels like! They left me to go hang out with people who hated me then they told me what they had said and they said some really mean things about me and that was betrayal!

Ashley

i really liked this poem and the thing is that i had just went threw it i lost my one and only best friend last night over nothing and now i dont know what to do with me or the problem and so what i am trying to say is that this poem helped me express some of the same feelings as when you wrote it to and i am thankful ashley

lily

this poem is beautifully sad, and i understand how true it is.

Leigha

i would never send this to any of myk friends b/c they seem to be the only backstabbing people around me. is that what friends are really for?!?!

madline

i guess am voting becouse once i had the same problem,raeding this poem made me feel. well,a very strange feeling. each word remindes me of my past. about me and my old friend and how we used to be. so happy. so friends. and it also remindes me how we became apart. cause of my stupid,couse i didn't call her number. and i watched our friendship fade away

Mireille XXXX

ganesh

wow ! i love this poem.

Ariana

good job! this is a great poem! yes like you said in your poem betrayal is the worst they can do to you in a friendship!

Hannah

Amazing. It's simply amazing. It seems to match up perfectly with the story of one of my ex-friends and me. After betraying me and losing my friendship, she actually stole this poem and claimed that she wrote it. Giving me this poem actually led to months of her stalking me, but I only recently found out that she had plagiarized the poem. But it was way too good anyway for it to have been written by her. I loved the style, I loved the content, I loved the wording. You are a terrific poet.

Marie

I think this was also very moving. I remember hurting someone I cared about very deeply and regretting it. It was such a movong poem.

Katie

This pain has happened to me before, so I know what it's like. I want to tell this boy how I feel and he pushes me away, and old woulds appear, but I just want to pour heart out and he doesn't want to hear it! It Hurts so much anywayz. This Poem kicks so much heinie, and it makes me keep reality in check. Keep up the good work!

Nicole

GEEZZZ! Talk about what I'm going through! Sighhh.

Katie

I like this poem!. me and my best friend just got into a huge argument over a stupid mistake i made and i dont think she will forgive me even though i tried so hard and dont wanna lose her because me and her have 2 many memories and it wood have been a waste of time and im soo srry for what i did to her! i hope me and her can become best friends again. and for anyone out there please think of ur bestfriend before u do sumthing!. guys or anything else isnt worth losing ur best friend over!

This is the poem I needed to read and I thank you for pulling it out of your soul for all in the world to read someday. This one poem has truly inspired me. It has given me the comfort of knowing that there are other people out there who feel exactly like me and who have gone through what I am. I thank you from the bottom of my heart; and I thank God that I decided to look up some poems on the internet because I would have never found this one. Thank you.

larina

Brittany

once your friends with someone and you have a good friendship then you meet someone else that dont like your other friend but this other boy or girl is cool and you wanted to be there friend and they told you that you cant be friends with me unless you drop that other person because I dont like them well then if that happens then you need to tell them to go somewhere because you are always going to be there friend hurting someone because one of your other friends dont like them is not a good idea because it could turn around on you that you drop your bestfriend for the other dude and then a few days later the other person says your a dork I dont want to hang with you anymore then what will you do you lost your imitation friend and the friend that should mean the most too you so this poem is a good poem if your trying to teach a lesson to someone about hurting others

nicole

It's so true

JJessica

this is a great poems and it has a lot of meaning i think u could be a great writer if u chose to do it professionally

Tonya

this pome is very true and i think that if you feel that way then you should do what your heart tells you to do. good job in the pome it has alot of meaning to it!

Daina

this was one of those poems that help you feel the truth. some thing like this happened to me. except the other person hurt me. It took me six years to cope around her! but now we are at peice with each other and she respects me. so if your having problems with friends don't let it effect your life. because even though you may not relise it now it really hurts!

gel

I once have a friend when iwas in grade 6. But she once talk behind my back, so, from that day, we do not talk nor saying hello to each other. She once say hello to me but i didnt greet her back. And now i didnt know if how long it will take for us to become friends again.

Jackie

I think this poem was so incredibly true to what alot of teenagers are feeling especially. Us teenagers treasure friendship and when there lost . its like loosing a piece of all you know. GREAT POEM!

Mason

this is a great poem, i wish i could be as creative as the maker of this poem. This poem hits so close to home on so many people and so many levals its almost scary.

Joanna

This was amazing and so true - I vote you !

Dialene

IT WAS AWESOME AND I LIKE IT

Minty

Personally, this poem touches me as it is exactly how I feel at the moment. My best friend, how we shared everything, and it ends with betrayal. And me hoping our friendship will rebegin. It is absolutely amazing how you express all this in a poem. Thank you so much Dan for sharing this with us.

Marilyn

I loved this poem. It went to the deepest place of my heart. I recently lost my best friend and this poem says exactly how things are right now. i'm not gonna lie, this poem brought tears to my eyes. I respect the author very much for writing this poem. Its an awsome poem. I wish the author well.

Erica

I hope my friend doesnt go to this website. because i think that our friendship is falling apart. she doesnt call me, she hangs out with the people who HATE me, i just think that the time has come where she just got bored of me. well, I LOVE your poem i give you a 10.

Alicia

i'm in tears right now . your poem touched me deeply. i just had a terrible falling out w/ my best friend . he hurt me like the person you discribed in your poem. i know he feels like this and is sorry but the pain is to real. Your poem was really really beautiful i hope you reconcile w/ this person. it's horrible looking to the future w/out him. thank you for the beautiful words that touched me so deeply.

Kiara

AWESOME! I can relate to your poem so much it's unbelievable, except with my bestfriend,it's reversed. I know you don't know me,but I think you should totally make up with your friend no matter what she said, because the chances you have at finding a good bestfriend ever again are one in a million. Think about it.

Danielle

This poem really touch me because in my classroom we just lost a classmate and we are only in the 8th grade. And that poem really touch me.

Laura

This poem is extremely heart felt. One reason why I like it is because it reminds me of my style of writing. It has been a while since I focused on my writing. I do miss it, this poem reminds me. Friendship is so important to us. The baring of ones soul is a deeply intimate love to give someone. A leap of faith, a cast of dreams to come. Memories imagined of sharing desires, fears, love, joy and spirituality in it's purest form. This beautiful poem captures the pain of a friendship gone wrong. Mistakes made and the reality of the truth of knowing that you yourself breeched the trust of a beloved friend. A penetrating expression of your deep feelings for your lost friend.

little bo peep

I know exactly how you feel. i have hurt a very dear friend of mine and i don't think that i can make it up to him. I have broken his heart and now i have broken my own by doing it. He can never understand how i feel as it is too complicated. your poem is very touching and it made me realise what kind of person i am. thank you for making me realise.

megan

this poem is. wow. it made me cry. it said everything i really needed to say but just didn't know how to say. knowing that i wasnt the only person that had ever betrayed someone and was hurt by themselves was just the thing i needed. it really made me feel better. thank you so much for writing this poem and posting it.

emma

i think it is a really gd poem that shoul be published

i have a neighbor that helped me get into a house, and after 2 months, she came down here and wanted to have a sexuall relationship only. at first, that was fine w/me,but soon i fell totally in love with her. she said she wasn't wanting a "relationship" because she had just been thruogh a very bad marriage. but now, just a couple months later, she stopped coming here and has found a boyfriend, and it really hurts to see her with him. these poems say what i cant say, and i want to thank you for that.

Nancy

This poem expressed my feelings amazingly. I sent it to my dear friend. I hope this poem touches his heart and we are together again. I too am torn apart- Should I respect his wishes and stay away or try and salvage our friendship. I'd give the poet 5 * for this poem. Thank you.

Debra

I found your poem at a time when my friendship of a lifetime was on the rocks. i betrayed all rust she ever had in me and never wanted to see me or talk to me again. i found your poem and gave it to her in a very long letter i wrote to her. and today we went out to have dinner at our favorite resturant. i just want to say thank you, you poem saved my friendship.

paula

I believe this poem is truly inspirational and i feel like i was there I would give it an "A". Great job!

Daniel

I loved your poem, i think mainly because i can relate. I too betrayed one of the best friends that i have ever had and everyday i wish so much i can turn back the hands of time. There is no other person that understands me and knows me like my ex-best friend does, and if I had one wish in all my life, it would be to go back and do things differently. What hurts even more is that i have noone to talk to freely about my problems and what im going through and i wish for once i had the chance to make things better.

Jackie

I like this poem a lot! Lately I've been in a big fight with my best friend of about 5 or 6 years. I don't really know what to do. I feel like I've hurt her and this poem made me think about it more. Dan thank you. I hope you keep writing more poems like this one.

Corey

Anything I could say about the last two stanzas would be an uderstatement, so I will leave it at that.

amber

I just wanted you to know that this poem was great! It reminds me of my old high school friend, her name is Kelly, she was my bestest friend for quite some time and I was in the wrong, and hurt her inside. I will never forgive myself for making her feel like I did. And if she ever reads these poems, i want her to know that I love her very much, and I would give anything to have her in my life again.

Rene

I love this poem! It fits just whats going on now between me and my best friend. Although I'm not the one that betrayed her. We were BEST BEST friends, non-separatable until one day. It'll be two weeks from tomorrow. We had an arguement, an arguement that will change our friendship forever. We will no longer be best friends, but maybe friends. Thanks for writing this poem because I love it.

Tasha

Its a very realistic and healing.

mandy

i love the poem

Zoe

i dont usually like poems that use other objects to describe things, ie shooting stars, weather etc. but yours i think is excellent and yet again so like my own life that at the moment i am finding hard to deal with. i had a friend. lets just say i dont anymore. thankyou x

i really like this poem. it made me think of a friend i have lost. she was once my best friend and now we dont even talk. she hurt me really bad, but never understood becuase she is so involved in herself. i cant stand the way she treats me. this poem made me think, if i should confrount her, because i did betray her aswell, as a result of how she hurt me. and did not care.

rajes

It just pulled numerous strings. The pain of betrayal and the betrared never fades. Pranams to that great hand that penned it.

this poem is really good and can I tell the truth. it is really true that it takes only a few seconds to open a profound wound in people we love but it takes many years to heal it.

I think this poem is very effective. It gives of the feeling that you are sorry for what you did, and you aren't sure if you should try again. I think you explained how betrayal feels very well.

This poem had an eerie way of hitting home. The author somehow knew how I have been feeling. Poetry has a way of helping with the healing, by opening your eyes to a light you never saw before. This poem helped me deal better with my emotions & I think that anyone who has been hurting inside by a friend should read this poem. It was beautifully written & although it brings out pain, it helps put a Band-Aid on your wound.

I CAN REALLY RELATE TO THIS POEM. I TOO LOST MY BEST FRIEND ONLY IN MY CASE, I'M THE ONE WHO WAS BETRAYED. AND THE PERSON HE BETRAYED MY TRUST WITH WAS ALSO ONE OF MY OLDEST, DEAREST FRIENDS. I FOUND OUT QUITE BY ACCIDENT, BUT I DON'T THINK I'D HAVE EVER KNOWN OTHERWISE SINCE NEITHER ONE OF THEM INTENDED TO TELL ME. THANKS FOR HELPING ME PUT A FEW THINGS INTO PERSPECTIVE

It makes me think about a friendship i had until the begining of this school. I wish she would listen and try to work things out. I only hopw when i go back to colorado and try to talk to her that she will listen and try to mend the wounds. Thank you for this poem to remind me of how much i miss having her as a friend and hope to mend it.
