Pick now your stone
For surely I know your stone on me
Will be the first to fall
Don’t hide behind a smile
For I can see through to the insincerity
As surely as I can discern the intent
What is trust when handed to you?
Where can our boundaries meet?
If you fight without rules?
Memories of days past
Brought forward by anxieties of tomorrow
So wary of you, am I
I stand facing you never giving you my back
The coward you are
You favour my back
But turn, I would not
Still, I give you all that you have come to hate
My courage and pragmatism
I, your Hercules heel,
You, my downfall
The uncertainty therefore is the result
No shock from me at your actions
Far from of old have I been warned.

interesting and straight forward poem,
speaks of distrust,like the poem and most especially the theme.
interesting. but isn’t the term Achilles heel?
@Anderson-Paul, Thanks dear..
@ RemiRoy, I thought so too, but some ITK said otherwise oh.. Thanks ..
the discerning of a betrayer before the betrayal takes place. Thats the foresight of the voice in this poem. Its voice observes and retroepscts a fake friendship, a judas incarnate
hmmmn…i thot the phrase, you my Hercules heel, spoke of how reliable you were, cuz the following line says you my downfall…i don’t know better than the writer sha but that is how it looks to me…
Is this for your ex or for your best friend who stole ur ex. Good stuff though.
Sorry guys..
I meant..
‘You my Achilles heels
Me, your downfall’
