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!

Casarah Nance August 28, 2014 at 5:42 PM HAHAHA oh Earl, that is unique, such vivid language! and I liked the twist at the end. I really did enjoy reading this, you keep me on a rollercoaster and I love the rides when I read your mind, you are one of a kind my friend xx Earl Schumacker August 28, 2014 at 7:38 PM 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. Earl Earl
