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!
