Of Lies and Misplaced Pride
I had to speak with her,
There was nothing else I could do;
I couldn’t believe he had put us both on par,
After all that we’d been through;
She seemed to be a bit naïve,
And even while we spoke, I just couldn’t believe;
That in spite of everything we had shared,
He had been with her and I feared;
The things he had told her, would not help me,
After all he had said, he wanted to be free;
How could someone I shared my life with be so cruel,
As to try to get me involved in a duel?;
There’s no doubt about it I’d fight for my love,
But we can’t deny that some things are controlled from above;
How could he seem so sincere to me,
When all along he lacked sincerity;
She told me not to worry it’s over,
But after all the mistrust, lies and misplaced pride, who could recover;
It was good for the time it lasted,
But he was clearly not satisfied, so we parted;
The lessons I learned from this is priceless,
Never take a person at face value, as your life, to them, will be pointless. FNB.
