Pulling her hand sharply away as he spoke
realising it wasn’t a joke.
Not the words that she wanted to hear
his love faded it was clear.
What really hurt he’d fallen for her friend
on whom thought could depend!
It should have been a night to celebrate
turned into a night of hate!
Without any idea of this cruel deceit
just wanted to get out that seat.
They had even got engaged a month ago
why she wanted to know.
Disgusted realised there was little point
they were no longer joint.
Cheated upon by those she trusted most
the bond now burnt toast!
Got up and walked away hiding that pain
had her dignity to maintain!
Determined to move on into a new life!
The Foureyed Poet.
