Wow.
When I read the title and brief description and saw the cover photo, I expected something quite different! I thought it would be a poem full of emotions and imagery, about the theme - betrayal.
Instead, there was a word picture of a horrifying scene, painted in a few, well-chosen words. I did a double take and had to read it again before I could review it.
Well, you've actually captured what betrayal feels like. In the brief description you say this is an experiment at a metaphor. It works. The poem itself comes as a shock, the way betrayal does, and the feeling evoked is that of the awfulness and hopelessness of it all. Nine lines which pack a real punch.
You might want to pick a couple more 'genres', and the link you've given in the notes has gone invalid. (Aside from this, there are no other suggestions from me. The poem works as it is.)
