- FOUR, DIVERGENT


Trust is too important to be given,
Once its earned there shouldn’t be a reason to be forgiven.
Cold betrayal needn’t be faced,
Unless lies are woven out of weak lace.

A second chance shouldn’t constantly be ready,
Even if the friendship is unsteady.
There should never be a reason,
For a broken heart no matter what the season.

Thoughts of rage swirling around in the head,
Especially when you go to bed.
How can you let go?
Knowing that you should’ve done it a while ago.

They say that ‘love is blind’,
But so is friendship if not in the right mind.
If your life wasn’t confined with no option,
Why did your friendship say ‘caution’?

It hits like a ton of bricks,
The sadness of a betrayal makes you feel sick.
The unbelievable feeling cannot be shaken off,
Can’t ever be forgotten with a scoff.

With some loyalty still prevails,
Although the relationship had failed.
One would try their best to get a second chance,
While the other tries their best not to spare a glance.

It’s a funny story really,
You never realize that you can live this freely.
All it took was a silly break,
That once upon a time seemed like a heartbreak.

I liked this, it was really meaningful and deep :) not basic vocab, but not too advanced either and i liked that. However, the rhyming, in places, was forced and didn't work: 'go' and 'ago' don't go together and neither do 'really' and 'freely'. Other than that, I really like it. Sorry if i sound harsh. if u have time, could u please rate and comment my ballad, 'sometimes'?
