Et Tu Brute?

by Lady Nik   Nov 8, 2009


Et Tu Brute?

My friend I thought you were
still hurling stiletto sharp daggers
at the back of my head.
One here, two there
Ouch... this pain is too real.

Minimal thoughts leak inside my mind
as I reminiscence on the moments
we use to share.
Now blood is the bond
that holds you to my nightmares.
Flashes of light break me open
as you stand over my body.
I am slain.
I am hurt.

I will never forget how you
betrayed me, no matter how loud
I scream....your voice will
always out last mine. Your touch
use to symbolize your compassion
now it burns all positive sentiments.

What happened to us?

I am your Caesar and you my Brutus
My friend... my confidant... my killer.
And you said you loved me
I see how strong that love is now
my friend.

*Challenge by Mysterious Charmer to write about Caesar :) *

    When I was done reading the poem I wasn't sure if I was going to give it a 5 or not to be honest. I thought it was pretty well done and unique but unlike your other pieces it lacks the knockout punch. I read it was a challenge and I'm glad you didn't back down haha 4.5 bumps up to 5/5 but I think we both know your heart wasn't in this piece :p

    How much this write touches me personally, reminds me of a few people described in this poem.
    This hit home for me,Nik. And it is right on the mark. 5/5 indeed.
