Deceived

Cunningly she besought him
In guile she slayed

piercing his heart
with each word he ate

sifting through layers of lust
Entering in beneath the crust

Chilling the filling
That was once sweetly inlaid

Reeking havoc with his emotions she played
the harlot with this the scarlet A
She secretly framed

Her vows were in vain
For sincerity she had no claim

Her ransom was rubies
and diamond and pearls

Outwardly a ravenous beauty set in silky curls
Inwardly a venomous snake seeking to strike her prey

What he had just wasn't enough to delay
her hunt for gold At the end of another mans rainbow

With each one another painful blow
he would eventually forgo her poisonous kiss
withstanding her sugary lips

Truth soon eclipsed
and vile secrets couldn't resist

Her ugliness exposed
Shooting shame out as if from an hose

Angers flames wilted loves charade

(It's your choice on how it will end get revenge or mend)

#1                                                    
Before he had walked away                    
he fought back with a sharp blade           
(Guess what two can play at that game)  
Hun did you think you where the only one?  

#2 In time the wounds would fade
With true love trust he would regain
But only Christ Jesus could remove
The fallen tears stain

I prefer #2 What about you?

I prefer two as well, one is just vindictive of a person, you know like revenge is the sweetest joy next to sex some would say, yet i feel its not, id rather mend then to defend

I prefer number2 as well even though at times in the back of my mind I would replay back one over and over again good poem

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
