On silent wings It ebbed and flew To take the love You thought you knew Arch and swiftly poised To asunder No caveat or counsel Nor reflection left to wonder
Swooping in on ethereal And darkened impression And replaced instead A bleak cold depression You felt the chill left By its ominous wake It took your soul Your heart to break
You never saw It coming on silent wings Swooping malignly Yet you couldn’t follow Voracious and iniquitous Wreaking desolation and sorrow
Heartfelt beseeching pleas Go unanswered, bereft Your destiny tainted sullied No honour and trust left Bearing a bankrupt lonely heart Perfidy exultant and deft
Belief your love was pure Devoid forever a warm embrace Treachery’s indelible stain Took all that you believed Or that could have been Your innocent pure heart Mercilessly wantonly deceived
