Love Scorned

 

Oh that I know betrayal so real,

treachery’s grasp I now can feel.

I turned my back, the dagger delt,

the unwitting wrath of my brother felt.

Love has scorned my beating heart,

love that I sought from life’s very start.

I once had known love sublime,

but it could not pass the test of time.

My brother now seeks to steal that love,

stolen from me a gift from above.

Those dreams are now faded, hope is now gone,

release from my pain is now all that I long.

For now I know just what I’ve lost,

a love that I found was beyond any cost.
