Unjust

You looked in my eyes
And I showed you my soul
Someone to confide in
Befriending you was my goal

I poured out my heart
Watched as the steaming liquid turned to ash
You had made it vanish
My burdens lifted at last

But you gathered the ashes
When my back was turned
You threw them in the blaze of the public
And I felt my shame start to burn

You sucked the venom out of me
And then bit me right back
I can't believe you betrayed me
Now my dignity I lack

Don't worry I've learned my lesson
And I will let this go
But I assure you
I'll never let you know
