You Cheated, Jack

Had this been what you wanted?

Had this been what you planned?

For me to eat away,

Out of the palms of your very hands?

Had this been what you schemed?

To take my love away?

To leave me here and watch,

Her weeps of quiet dismay?

To leave me here without love,

But only hatred in its wake?

Because she cries for you,

Only for your sake.

And how could she be falling,

For someone so indecent,

When I can clearly see,

You're nothing but a heathen.

Had this been it all along?

I, some simpleton in the way,

Of a fine young Swann,

To which is the true treasure that awaits?

Had this been what you've been doing?

Cheating behind my back,

Cheating before me.

I'll never forgive you…

You cheated, Jack.

Author's Note: A fairly old poem I posted using my OTHER account, but I've decided to put it here instead where my other PotC fic is, because…oh, I dunno, they look so cute together. I'm not a William/Elizabeth fan, but I do love tormenting Will—it's rather entertaining, because he does in fact tend to brood a lot throughout all the PotC films. So I suppose you could say the whelp has a special place in me heart. ;) The emo surely needs to lighten up and have a pint o' rum and whatnot…
