A Lament

When you think somebody loves you
Respects you through and through
Then you see that in reality
They laugh at what you do.

It seems that being sacred
Serene and Joyful too
Is thought of as a problem
When it’s perceived by you

I never thought I’d see the time
He turned his back on me
But maybe I’m the lucky one
If he wont let me be.

A lament for loving,
A lament for respect
A lament for friendship
A lament for SANITY

A lament for you
A lament for me
A lament for all things
Meant to be.

May God help us and deliver us all to salvation.

When someone is false and untrue, there is nothing more to do than to bid adieu. Good write.
