The Painful Arrow
We were once one,
but now apart.
We were once together,
but now divided,
How could they, i wept.
Why would they, I cried.
For they were overcame by greed.
Yes ,for they were conquered by covetousness
Where are those who I trusted with all my heart?
where are those who claim to love me?.
For I am being left alone,
to suffer a painful pain (wound).
For the arrow, yes the arrow,
shot by those you care about,
is quite painful,
even quite hurtful.
While the arrow, yes the arrow
shot by those you trust,
is more painful,
even deadlier, for they know you well.
But the arrow shot by those you love,
is the deadliest of all.
For they know your weakness,
and will hit you at a place where you can't survive it.
I cared,trust and loved them,
but now am being shot,
for I am now their victim.
Then I asked, shall I then survive the shot.
