Or So I Thought...

How does the saying go...

Some people come into your life for a reason, some a season, some a lifetime.

However long it was, be thankful for the gifts,

Or so I thought,

You'd be my shield, my sword, my garment.

My friend, my brother, my beloved,

You'd be there in time of my need, in yearnings , in joy and sorrow.

As I was for you,

Or so I thought.

How your words sweet at the time, those smiles sly, full of mischief,

Left to crumbles of lies and deceit, bonds broken, betrayal treasonous.

I saw you again tonight, like two ships in a night passed, I had nothing in my heart for you...

Or so I thought.
