Fall from Grace

My love for you was boundless, it stretched from each corner of the earth. I was blind to your faults, my angel with sapphire eyes. A faithful minstrel singing praises of your worth, Sworn fealty to you and I swore never to defy. Yet your innocence was crumbling, left broken in your hands. Happily I stood loyal by your side. While I became less of an equal and more of a soldier to command. Your valour slowly fading, now nothing to you was denied. Suspicion took root in your once trusting nature. Selfishness gained momentum And swooped down in one quick gesture. We your friends a corrupted sanctum. But no matter how we sewn you up like a patchwork dress, You lashed out with words like daggers drawing blood. The seams came undone, the buttons flying under stress. The more you withdrew, the callousness arrived in a flood. Your fall from grace was longer than most Up so high you must have touched heaven. But when you let life spear you and let the poison spread I realised afterall you are a person. Just a person.
