Declaration

The lady doth protest too much,
So now she pays.
If only he could read her mind,
He would not have heard the words
That offended him so
But would have seen
What her words tried to deny
Imprinted on her heart.

How could she get three words
So wrong?

Because instead of honesty
And truth
Never pure and far from simple
She laced her words with venom.

She was scared, and he was blind
The lady doth protest too much
But he refused to see
