Sweet Are His Words

This is a poem about a relationship gone sour.

Sweet are his words

Cheerful is his laugh

Now you cannot see,

He simply wears a mask.

Passionate and free,

A man of large heart

But soon he will reveal,

His soul, plagued with dark.

You will fall in,

Into his charming ways.

You will deny every curse,

Every flaw in his face.

His charming quick-wit,

And the glitter in his eyes

Will beat you to the ground,

Bring you to your demise.

The man who stole your heart,

Who swept you off your feet,

Has slandered all you know,

Left you helpless and weak.

Now you cannot do a thing,

It is out of your reach.

He’s draining your life away,

Like a sucking, wretched leech.

The connection you have,

With this child of rage

It must be destroyed,

Only you hold the blade.

Cut it quick!

Please do not tarry!

Hold on a little longer,

Life will grow more scary.

The line severed!

The girl set free!

Praise be to God,

For giving her eyes to see.

Satan, he wears a mask.

A mask of love-filled lies

He will string a trap for you,

It might look like a charming guy.
