Darla Appleleaf Poet Free verse

A Disguise For Poisoned Thorns

Lure me in with lust.
Tear me down in the end.
Don’t be so cliche,
It ruins a sterile heart.

I want no part in your demented world.
The roses you try to win me over with
Are a mere disguise for poisoned thorns.

Your thoughts are artless,
Yet each move you make
Is laced with lethal sin.
