Betrayed

Where lies your love and faithfulness as you cry today 
Who else is your captive as your tears refuse to dry today 

I gave you my heart but you broke it with a sledge hammer 
Sadness and pain reside in me ,makes me feel high today

Your love is a hard nut to crack yet I was betrayed 
Person I held in high esteemed deceived me and defy today 

I went for a trip, came back to see you cruising on my bed
Wife and ‘foe’ relishing in my house, ”oh!, they will die today” 

Learnt a big lesson not to trust a friend with my life again 
To women deceit, antics and trust ,I say~ bye-bye today

I~ Victor ,retires from this task of lust and love with false pretext
Saint or angel I seek not, for I resent to apply today .
