Troy Toney Poet Rhyme

Sneaky Snakes

He had ulterior motives
Unwritten tendencies
A snake in the grass
Not a true friend to me

I was a blind man with eyes 
Didn't  see it in front of me
He slithered his way in
Took her from under me

I trusted a snake
That bit me in the foot
Let him in close
That's all that it took

A friends is was I thought 
But was a snake in disguise 
He tricked me it's clear
But he opened my eyes

For that he has helped me
I'm not furious or bitter
Proved she too was a snake 
That also could slither
