CURSED GEM

 

I found for me a friend,

And hoped I found me joy,

But what he did intend,

Was hidden in his coy.

I felt his love and care,

And those pretended trust,

I thought this gem was rare,

I never knew it cursed.

A tool who came to spy,

To bring unto me woe,

A setup and a wile,

Who stung more than a foe.

He stripped me to my pants,

And clipped my only wings,

He left my soul with chants,

Of sorrow on sad strings.

This friend is a hot coal,

I wished he was unborn,

He was the very mole,

Who made my love forlorn.

He stole my pretty wife,

And set her for his friend,

He stole my lovely life,

And brought it to an end.
