Line Gauthier Poet Rhyme

Fool Me Once

Is there anything more unforgivable than betrayal by a friend
That sacred trust and bond that shatters in the end
The witch actually asked me to leave my fiancé
To match me up with her brother the next day
I supposed she thought I should be flattered
She just left me in a daze befuddled and smattered
Beyond crossing the line I’d say she dipped and swerved
I wish I could say that I dropped her like she deserved
But no I pretended it never happened and kept my smile
And merely let that sour friendship run its last mile
