Heart, body, and soul


His eyes glowed as bright as the North Star in the summer night 

I wanted nothing more, but just his name;

for my heart knew that it would be sewn on soon

His smile took my breath away within an instant;

for it looked into my soul and found me

Then became his touch;

for my body knew that's all I ached for 

heart, body, and soul

all together as one

He took my love, he took my heart; 

but it was I who didn't see the evil lurking within

behind those beautiful eyes was a darkness;

behind his smile was a sinister one;

and behind his touch was a touch of disappointment

for I was the fool 

for I was used 

heart, body, and soul

together as one; crushed between the hands of the admirable
