Where was the guard at hearts gate <br />Where was the warning cry <br />How could he let you enter and hurt me <br />Why did he let you walk by <br /> <br />Where was the keeper of wisdom <br />Why was there no sage advise <br />Where was the counsel I now know I needed, <br />When I yearned for a heart made of ice <br /> <br />Where were my trusted companions <br />Who swore they would keep me from harm <br />Why weren't they here in the time of my downfall <br />When I fell for your lies and your charm <br /> <br />Where is the lady who promised <br />Her love was forever and true <br />Why claim her words hold a truth and a power <br />Then casually find love anew. <br /> <br />Where was the guard at hearts gate <br />Why was there no warning shout <br />Saying I'd go from the warmth of her sunlight <br />To living in shadows of doubt. <br /> <br /> <br />Perry Biggerstaff<br /><br />Perry Biggerstaff<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/where-was-the-guard-at-hearts-gate/
