Deceit


Like a temptress in the wild, who enthralls all who seek; When they come near, o so near! With heart so innocent and weak. Like a poison ivy you wrap upon their bleeding heart weave a spider’s web so smooth A dangerous enchanting trap! Deceit is your prowess but the knife I could not see was there. When spring was gone, I see my heart was nothing, but a spare!
