Satin
Caressing my mind
Conveying your lies
Your velvet tongue
Devouring the prize
Murmurs in silk
Smooth and sensuous
A charade acted out
The ending treacherous
Satin words
With claws of rust
Etched into my heart
It was a breach of trust
With silver charm
And a propensity for deceit
Another conquest was yours
Corpse at your feet
Overwhelmed by your audacity
Naïveté notwithstanding
Your intentions toward me
Were not a misunderstanding
Distinctly seeing
The tenacity of your intent
I am no fool of yours
And make clear my discontent
Slink off into the darkness
Trophy in hand
The ending of the story
Was just as you planned
