Loyalty Lies

I was social 
Surrounded by people 
Many local 
the crowd was equal 

A place where loyalty lies 
And boy does it lie 
All talk til the cry 
Their gone no goodbye 

Favours for favours 
Owners and slavers 
No one to save us 
Takers and traitors 

I thought I had close ones 
The mean the most ones 
Those well known ones 
Suddenly no ones 

I cared 
And I got hurt 
And I swear 
Care is hurt 

Avoid
Assumptions
Destroyed 
Only done once
