DECEIVED.

I didn't learn a lesson.

DECEIVED.

Once in my life, Ii thought it was a bed of roses

Until my philosophy was proved wrong and that chapter closes

It wasn't the fault of the defaulter

Because he never took me to altar

Who deceived me?

My foolishness stung like a queen bee

When I muttered the matter to my mother

She disowned me as her daughter

It didn't take quite much for me to realize

The consequences of my little lies

My mother sent me packing although without clothes

I sought help from people but couldn't find the antidote

My stomach had the shape of a cow's stomach of gloat

My thoughts in the air did float

I didn't learn a lesson

Refused to marry Ali, the Mason

I settled for the "ideal husband"

But it turned out he was a poor man's steward

I would have been happy as a mother

But now I am left to sleep beside the gutter

For the first time in my life, the pages were blank

Too wretched to take a loan from the bank

ALL BECAUSE OF FRANK.
