Stranger In My Friend

The rhapsody of our first date drifted in the air

as we charged our love to Destiny.

For Chance could not have led us to this place

where Passion's bridle is of no avail.

Heaven had a secret on the day he lifted The Veil.

Did he change on me?

Or did I come to know him better?

"Eternal is the bond" was in letter after letter

dictated by his ego

perpetrating as his heart.

I am so ashamed I could not

tell them apart.

As crystal, were the signs

I chose to ignore.

As sand, were the times

I allowed him through

the door.

As sure as sunrise, this hurting love

I shall end.

I did a double-take

and saw a stranger in my friend.
