I Was No Stranger Poem by Chris Embrick

I was no stranger to your love
I could not give you worldly fame
For you my love was not enough
You left true love all for a name
I could not give you worldly fame
With wealth you found no happiness
You left true love all for a name
Now both of us must live like this
With wealth you found no happiness
For you my love was not enough
Now both of us must live like this
I was no stranger to your love.


Epilogue:

How callus the fickle heart
For fame, a name could not resist
One left her true love behind
Caused both to lose their happiness.
