Backstabber
Are you happy spreading misery,
distrust what you embrace
More joyful when the skies are dark,
than bright on sunny days
Is truth a tool you wield and fling,
a weapon in your hand
Love what looms and threatens most,
to never understand
Are feelings there for you to trash,
with others left to cry
A promise made but left unkept,
much worse than any lie
When all is said, and all is done,
and everyone looks back
Will you be known for what you were
-that knife in someone's back
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2020)
