The Sting of Betrayal

by SiriusBalisticPretzels

Condemned for her gifts, betrayed by her friends, hunted by her comrades, and left to rot at the bottom of a well. The tragic life of Morgana Pendragon. Is it really so hard to believe she chose a path leading her into the darkness? Dark sympathy poem.

This is a poem I experimented with in my creative writing class.

Prompt: Villains and sympathy

Enjoy.

.:The Sting of Betrayal:.

Hands that grasp at nothing

A voice so weak that no one can hear

Eyes that see nothing but the cold memories of a world fading

A world so muted that all we have left is fear

It is here I sit alone

In this world so cold

Left on my lonesome; vulnerable and prone

To a world so dangerous, it's captured me in its clammy hold

It's sad to think that no one cares

What has become of my heart, once gentle and kind

I am now hunted and persecuted in bloodthirsty pairs

If you catch my eye today, is it really surprising, the deep hatred you find?

I was born with power

It was something I could not control

But no, I was to be rejected and driven from the tower

This seething betrayal is taking its toll

My precious friends have abandoned me

Each and every one of them

Left me; one, two, three.

Now it is them I choose to condemn

I have been lied to

By the very people I once held dear

When I tried to see their view

All I would receive was their distrustful sneer

I have been hidden from the sun

Shackled helplessly to the bottom of a well

But now it is their turn to run

Because I will give them Hell!

The time has come now.

For the last time they have crossed the line

Now here I take this solemn vow

The crown of Camelot will be MINE!

I am not very talented in poetry. Perhaps I will come back to this when I gain more experience. However, I would like to know our thoughts.
