To My Friend
I cannot believe it, I still dare not think it was you.
How your lips can cordially lie & sweetly spill the truth.
I cried beside you & told you all my privacies; stayed completely by you night and day,
And as my eyes avert and down, I feel my feelings die and see the error of my ways.
You said you were there for me, O I wanted to believe your alibis: to truly believe you cared.
But it seems that when I hurt you and saw and mended it, my feelings weren't to be spared.
I wish I’d never known you so you would have not seen & hurt me.
But I am a great believer in faith & what’s meant to be, will be.
You found me; I wasn’t ever looking for you.
I am glad you killed the friendship before it grew.
I see now what was done wrong. I see and promise it never to happen again.
I see that where I fell on fatal error is the same time I put my trust in man.
