Treason

TREASON



I constructed
A magnificent wall,
A huge impenetrable wall 
All around us
A proud wall
For I wished to protect and defend
At all cost 
And at all time
The most precious gifts of all:
Our love

I fought bravely!
Innumerable battles
I gave
Was hurt
Was injured
I bled almost to
Death
But was not
Defeated 
I stood my Ground
For you
For me
FOR US! 

  
What an irony though,
The wall fell, 
Surprisingly, 
In the course of a single
Night,
Not to an outside enemy
No, nobody could do it,
I swear, 
But to an inside 
ONE,
You see my dearest 
Friend,
The enemy was 
My most trusted
ALLY!
