Betrayal

Tristan Robert Lange


Notice of absence from Tristan Robert Lange
Healing is coming along, but now I am away for my job and will not be on as often as I wish I could be. So, I just thought I would put this out there as an explanation so people don’t think I’m flaking off or ghosting. Thank you for reading, engaging, and understanding. πŸ–€πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦΄πŸ™ See you intermittently and on the other side! Read, write, fucking rebel! 🀘😏
Your eyes,
Your words—
Your tone—
They betray you.

    Hahaha, but of course! And I'd have it no other way. I'm happy to be me. This gorgeous itty bitty pretty number packs a punch in tantalizing brevity. Superb. Thank you for sharing. I love it. Excellently rendered with a piercing poignancy and sparse imagery.

      🀣 You rock, my friend. Yeah, this one was rather short and to the point. Thank you so much for your time, your analysis, and your support. Always. πŸ–‹οΈπŸ’”πŸ•―οΈπŸ™

      So few words that also betray. Words are not always needed to betray one. A wonderful poetic write

      • Tristan Robert Lange

        Were we betrayed by Obi or Popeye, or both? And - don't I think of anyone else besides those two? LOL.

        • Tristan Robert Lange

          I feel like Popeye will just punch you...so it must be that shrewd and crafty Jedi. Oi be! Of course you do. KP and Fido! 🀣

          A cleverly crafted write a sense of the double edged sword, and maybe some betrayal in the write, enjoyed the read

              Looking at getting tone on paper… probably the toughest of these traitors. Subtle betrayals… breathe even makes the mark. A sure assassin. πŸ™πŸ»πŸ•Š
