I've watched you pass into orbit with another star,

on the far side of the galaxy, no longer responding

to the bonds of gravitational pull where once

I must have held you under wondrous spell.

It tells much against your values when I hear you

revering his insincere proclamations,

(his negation of up front, honest candour,)

in plans to snatch the quick shallow advantage.

I can't forget your overt support for his heavy

efforts to silence my line of argument.

It went against the pattern I still recall,

when you always stepped forward to champion my cause.

     When meeting you, my cup of joy would brim,

     were not it for the fact of seeing him!
