A BETRAYAL OF INNOCENCE

Trust is always a fragile thing 
Better not put it in a swing 
A clueless mind in time will know 
If someone tries to halt its glow 

Even true blood can bite the pay 
And be like puppet in a play 
Temptation bites even the wise 
More so when sun is on the rise 

Don't always trust a sweet, sweet smile 
For, deep within, it could be bile 
Trust not always a sweet, sweet care 
For, blade of bile don't always spare 

For, in the minds, so pure and clean 
Black widows bite them, you can glean 
So, even light of shining day 
Is choked in mist of black and gray
