Lay Down Be Still I am not responsible, for what happened to you. You are accountable; to what happened to me. That was and is still a fact. You had what ever reason, suited you at the time. You traded away... all that you could have had, for all that you; felt safe and close to. In the end, it was not warm or soft, but cold and spiny. You cheated. and played the game badly. You are angry, but it matters little. The pain that you expressed, missed its mark, and landed on the innocent, and deniably un-defend-able. You will pay in coins, silver... similar to those paid, the night, He was betrayed. You will be paid, for your services, again, when you have been... found, less; but made whole, by forgiveness, unasked but expressed.

"You cheated. and played the game badly. " I had to say hooray when I arrived at this line.

Each must pay for own activities. That's Law of Nature. Nicely penned.
