A Friendly Deed
A friend I thought I had
When you came in smiling gaze
Stranded here I stand
Trapped in a lonely maze
A deluge in my oblivion
Of subtle slander I miss
And your words roll so blithely
With a sting of a Judas' kiss
I sit on the edges of morrow
And find that to me you died
But your deeds I labor to forgive
Before Hades finds out you lied
For pain when nursed is misery
And pain set loose births harmony
