False Friend

You betrayed me,
O false friend...
Me, who trusted you wholly,
My false friend.

You claimed rightness,
O false friend.
You claimed to follow the light,
My false friend.

I should have seen,
O false friend.
I was blinded by friendship,
My false friend.

You promised to love forever,
O false friend.
No matter how far or long I strayed,
My false friend.

You lied,
O false friend.
You betrayed your vows,
My false friend.

I tried to tell you,
O false friend,
I warned you of your pride,
My false friend.

Yet still I trusted you,
O false friend.
I should have known better,
My false friend.

I left your faith,
O false friend.
I thought you left me then,
My false friend.

But you had already lied,
O false friend.
You had already betrayed your vows,
My false friend.

You spread lies to my friends,
O false friend.
Tried even to turn my Beloved away,
My false friend.

You spoke fair words to my face
O false friend,
But spread poison behind my back,
My false friend.

And now you dare question,
O false friend?
You dare ask what you've done,
My false friend?

You still claim to follow the light,
O false friend?
You still claim rightness,
My false friend?

You lie,
O false friend.
You betray your vows,
My false friend.
