Turpis lucrum

A Poem by Dave W.
"

Filthy lucre

"
Dirty is what you made me feel, 
honest is what I was, 
caring is what I was, 
innocent is what I was, 

Too much talk, 
too much heart revealed, 
too much trust given, 
too blind to understand, 

Friends was the label for what we were, 
late night talks and counsil given, 
I loved your wisdom, 
you helped me understand thruths of life, 

Why did it need to change, 
why did you take advantage, 
I thought friendship had no price tag, 
sold for the sake of filthy lucre, 

I hope the 30 pieces of silver help you, 
I hope you the best, 
the chambers to my heart are now closed, 
all the locks have been changed, 
isolation has taken your place......

I am so sorry you went through such pain.
If my tears could heal your heart it would be whole now.
