With a ruthless hand

Listen to poem:
In shadows cold, you made your stand, With all the nerve yet none of the spine You broke my heart with a ruthless hand The bed you chose, I wish lies unmanned, A ghostly hollow of your design In shadows cold, you made your stand True friends arise, they understand, But your treachery wears a warmer sign You broke my heart with a ruthless hand You left me here to face the sand Your whispered promises malign; In shadows cold, you made your stand Each tear I shed is carved; but you planned, Yet still, I rise from this decline; You broke my heart with a ruthless hand Oh, taste the bitterness claimed, unplanned; The price of trust—now pain entwined; In shadows cold, you made your stand; You broke my heart with a ruthless hand
