Betrayal My Love

Betrayal My Love Honor your own cold blackened heart You filthy dirty whore Demonic pagan worthless piece of godless wonderment You stealing thieving thing Betrayal is the soiled sewer’s game you play Taking joy at targeting the trust of others Wasting each and every soul you touch That touches you with money You give this world the ugliest thing you can Your promise in the form of candy and sweet snacks But give nothing back Sinister flashing smiles, advertises, pretty wrapped packaging Is all that you display But when it comes to paying you You steal my quarters Leave me empty What hurts worse? Craving for your sweets my love What is behind the machine you pretend to be? Betrayal, poverty, as I’m left standing No more money to enter in your slots No more quarters in my pockets and no more candies You worthless vending machine monstrosity You thieving *****! Give me back my money or I’ll break the glass! 8/28/14 Any Old Poem Will Do #3 - contest

Hi Casarah, Thank you. I'm so glad you liked it. I could have called it Venting on the Vending but it would have given away the ending. I hope you know that I do not have animus or any ill will towards machines or people. I've seen people go crazy when they don't get their candy fix or money back. Have a pleasant evening. Take care.
