Exposed

Yesterday I lived a lesson,
one I wished I never learned.
A man I believed in
betrayed my trust.

My tangled heart
is pierced with pain
from what I have learned.
His lies and deceit
trapped me in an evil game,
which I still pretend to ignore.
I was caught up in the chase
running after
false hopes of
a true friendship.

Yesterday I lived a lesson,
one I wished I never learned.
A man I believed in
betrayed my trust.

Through his deception
he created a man,
a man that did not exist.
He became a predator on the prowl
luring his prey,
studying his subject
carefully and close
until he knew me
like an open book.
He spoke in poetry
with captivating charm.
He focused on my needs
to secure my trust in him.


Yesterday I lived a lesson,
one I wished I never learned.
A man I believed in
betrayed my trust.

My heart is hardened
but has continuous fear,
containing the knowledge
he manipulated many lives.
I cry for those unfortunate women,
scorned by a
falsehood of friendship.

Unaware he is caught,
caught up in deceit
of his pathetic game,
his petty lies are shown.
He will no longer smile,
thinking he has someone’s trust.
He will lurk in the darkness,
realizing he is alone,
realizing he is a shamed man.
May God take pity
on his dying soul.
