Cheater

It only took a single glance;
A slave to lust’s hypnotic trance,
He lost his head.

He begged her for a second chance,
And tried to save the doomed romance;
Her love was dead.

Yours was one of my favorites! Big congrats. I may have figured out the trick to making this not post double. When it does not post, I just click on the arrow to go backward, and then I come back and see it is posted. I am going to check it now.
