Poem
THE REASON FOR TREASON I know the reason you did what you did The responsibility lies solely on what your hush hid A secret you whisper in the darkness while alone A confidence which by me is now negatively known I used to treat you with the respect I thought you deserved Until your disloyalty was so subversively served I related funny little anecdotes to someone I deemed a friend And now I regret that you ever had an earnest ear to lend That hush was a furtive fact your laughter couldn’t hide A covert alert that your grins decidedly defied I felt in my heart that your smiles were sincere And now I live with a frown and facts too difficult to bear It is a detrimental detail my mind can’t avoid And now I am left more than a little annoyed Bothered by a belligerent reality now revealed While I wait to see what further havoc your betrayal might yield Believe this one statement if you believe nothing else I ever say I remember a blue sky before your duplicity turned it gray Now to me it seems the sky will never again become blue And thanks for that worrisome weather report which is due solely to you You didn’t have to say a word to anyone about me All you had to do was allow what you once believed just be But because of your disclosure it caused irreparable harm So I now believe your sequestered secret is that camaraderie is not part of your charm! © 2012 copyright PHREEPOETREE…..~free cee!!
