Turpis lucrum

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......
