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.
