Reassessment

I must call everything into question now that you’ve smugly done your one-eighty, mistrust your most innocent suggestion, and find your lightest of motives weighty. I see in a new and much harsher light that what I took for truth was just an act, and I must review with improved hindsight what once I blindly accepted as fact. I don’t blame myself for naiveté. In fact, I’m proud of my guileless trust. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I don’t expect you to feel guilt. It’s just my measure of you needn’t be reversed, if you’d been honest with me from the first.

A fine sonnet, James. It's good to see another member as keen on meter and rhyme as I am... great language, too. Best wishes, Keith
