Entrapped
The rocks and stones hit you hard,
And cause many cuts and bruises
Do you deserve this treatment
When your friend's future wife abuses
The love her lover gave to her
And promised to stay true
And now she has broken her word
To elope with you.
How do you feel
Betraying your good and faithful friend
Did you think
This illicit affair would end
Without causing any pain
To anyone, least of all you
Have you no shame
You have betrayed a trust
By showing lust for another man's future wife
Causing anger, bitterness and strife
How is this going to end
For you, your new lover and old friend
Your skin is bleeding profusely now.
You wish the stones would stop.
There's a pool of blood on the floor
You feel faint and drop
The fickle girl gets frightened
And flees for her life
That flirtatious little madam
She does not want to be any man's wife.
How quickly the situation changes
When the truth comes out
It changes everything, without a doubt,
How foolishly we behave
When we fall into a trap
And shut our eyes
To temptations
That fall into our laps
The two men look at each other
With sorrow and dismay
Both are a little wiser
After this horrendous day
