Arson To Ash

"ARSON TO ASH"
By J.R. Thornton
 

Dealers of deceit 
          Lead lives of tragic defeat 
Bloody knives stick out from concrete 
Fooled into trust, tricked to believe 
Her weapon is lust.           The intent to decieve 
Bilegerant drunk.          Obnoxious skeeze 
Violent and dramatic. King Timothy to please. 
A man with connections burning bridges. 
Now cannot see the forest from the trees 
Or regain pride while on his knees 
Leading the pity parade. 
While those who loved, now judge and grieve 

~END~ 

(inspired by my best friend and Girlfriend) (don't take offense, still love you guys)
