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.

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.

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 :)
