A Game Fools Play

Tell me: what happened to the man I knew? And why do you treat me, the way you do? You spin silken lies that defy belief. And sneak out at night, like a common thief. Luring me astray, push soon turns to shove. And wooing trouble, you betray my love. Once trust is broken, it fades: till it dies. And depression feeds upon its demise. You have taken my happiness away. And reduced our love; to a game fools play.

Emile you convey heartfelt pain. Betrayal is such an ugly act. I could feel the damage it did in this painful write. Very well done.
