Betrayal

by Daniel J   Jun 29, 2005


I turned to you in my hour of need,
You were kind enough to pay me heed,
But what a price I paid for your kind deed!
I thought you an ally, a friend to be,
But instead you happily betrayed me,
Offering wrong advice to make my fall grand,
Laughing and celebrating as I fell face first in the sand.
Such an unhappy ploy you played upon me,
You have no honour that I now see,
You coveted what was in my grasp,
Secretly worked against me to hear my dying rasp,
Behind my back you laughed at me,
All the while planned against me secretly,
Until you snatched what I had meant to hold,
And calling it yours from the start 'twas bold,
So close was it to my heart I felt sadness untold,
And now you make off with what was to be mine,
You hide your face in shame knowingly ye swine,
Making no mention of this at all and carry on as if all is fine,
With wanting eyes you perceived,
With wise lies you deceived,
Weaving a net of cunning,
But I know now who you are,
A good name now mayn't get you far,
Yet should your posessions someone claim,
Be sure to know all you'll have is your name,
Though it looks good now you'll be sure to fall,
In your turn someone will make you stall,
As you did to me so shall you be.
And one day, my friend, wheresoever you are,
You'll remember what you did in a past not so far,
And you'll remember me.

    Hey, when and if I give you a 5, I mean it. Your rhyming skills are remarkable. And great word choice... I honestly really like it. I'm not very good at critiquing though. You'll just have to believe me.
