How many long conversations does it take

For a desirable friendship to be made?

Funny that a single moment could break

That bond, all to be crushed and unmade.

The sincerity you poured, was truly a mistake

It only hurt more, when you were betrayed,

Who cares if your heart is as large as a lake

You’ll still be cut down as if you are brocade.

Is it too late now, that love, to retake?

Solitude than disloyalty is always a good trade,

People’s hearts are rarely open or opaque

Leaving all this behind is a card well played.
