I closed my eyes an age ago
and fell into obscurity.
Your words I took as gospel
became the death of me.

The empty vows that you proposed
did fail the test of time.
The falsehoods and deception known,
true cowardice your crime.

I held you in my warm embrace,
imparted love so free.
And blindly missed the sword you held
that plunged inside of me.

What heinous crime did I commit
to warrant such respect?
To have the wolf in sheeps clothing
bludgeon through my neck?

Your thoughtless words and actions
Your lack of culpability
Your half-grown naïve fears and claims
falsehoods and mendacity.

Confusion and the lack of strength
to stand on words confessed
I hope that one day you will learn
the worth of words professed.

I pray that you will never know
a pain as such as this.
And blindly go where fools do tread
in unrequited bliss.

I wish on you the happiness
that you believe you seek.
And hope that our paths never twine
or cross again to meet.
