Aphrodite
Beauty, Elegance, Grace,
Love, Radiance, Deception.
Feeding on the emotions
of desperate, innocent men.
Using seduction as a tool
Clouding men's minds
Enforcing rules of Passion
Jealousy, Hate, Rage.
Kidnapping, War, Murder,
Riches, Jewels, Gold.
Her beauty lies to all
of what truly lies inside.
Causing men to act cruelly
Deaths increase around her.
Arrows into the heart,
Apples made of gold.
The depths of pain and suffering.
The sorrow of lost loved ones.
Sending old lovers down,
To wallow in their own misery,
Forever.
