RUBAIYAT ON DECEIT

Smilingly you said hello,

Surprising it was to hear goodbye;

I was caught unaware by your style,

And deep within my heart did cry.



We walked together hand in hand,

Overcoming the rough seas and the sands,

Yet, when the time came to prevent my fall,

How artfully did you let go of my hand.
