Untruth told
In the empty cavern that is my heart
There echoes dearest love we had
In precious moment of passion's dart
Your piercing arrow in velvet clad
Lost innocence from platonic vow
Where childlike love descends to lust
Of sensuous pleasures that none allow
And jealousy that breeds mistrust
That time alone 'neath crumpled sheet
Stained with promises dry and cracked
Unpromised by traitor indiscreet
Love-filled heart is raped, ransacked
You have left me, gone your way
And I am left to lie, decay.
