An ally that I thought I had

I could only see the good, not bad

At first it showed itself so suddenly

Now all I see is a truth so ugly

You made us think that we were wrong

Covering up your shame so long

As we questioned why we were so awful

To think that you were good and lawful

You fooled us once, but not again

I cannot trust you, I won’t pretend

You want it back and I can’t give so easily

A unconditional love I once gave so freely

It still is there, I’ll love you always

Though I can’t forget the pain and heartache

Realising that we are not so similar

The person I thought was my familiar.
