To Him

Weren't you just the life of the party With me...content to be Somewhere silently listening to the laughter Myself as company Yes I was faithful far too long And what I thought was wrong, was wrong. But I'm still loyal I do believe Not a crooked card was delt to me For free... I paid with my virtue I prayed with my heart That still I could love you Inspite of the dark Nature, that drove you so It's all I remember Yet no one can know How it's constantly playing the Blues in my mind And it hasn't subsided that often I find So if I dream It means I've slept But a dream is not a dream at all... If I've wept. So when this bitter taste has swelled my lips And the salt remains on fingertips Isn't a thought as just as this... One great & giant secret She shall spy One day, one hour, one minute... As have I.

I definitely read the contempt in these lines. Giving away one's virtue is a high price for a private lesson! Really a great write poetically speaking:)
