Again, thank you and well done to everyone who entered. Here is Aminah’s entry…

Always Betrayed
Why do I feel like I am always being betrayed?
I just disappear from lives; I start to fade.
People forget me; they just move on and leave me,
I am like that one autumn leaf that just hangs off a tree.
It hurts very much when somebody betrays you,
You feel so alone and you feel so blue.
The whole world just crumbles around me, myself and I,
Nobody cares if I’m depressed or if I cry.
Friends blew into my life like a sweet, summer breeze,
Then, they steal my heart in a flash, and make me weak in the knees.
We said our friendship would last forever – I said we’d never part,
You never cared anyway, even though I gave everything, my heart.
We had such great times, such fun,
But you can never fix something that’s already done.

P.S. Aminah has written a book of poems which you can buy here.
