Disgraced Beauty

A warm smile
in another man's arms,
for the love they have
you've corrupted to lust,
seductive queen
thy heart knows no love,
for their hearts you hurt
as you thirst for lust,
deception and greed
for all that is good you need,
as hate you breed
sucking the good out of their deeds,
love is lost
in a heart that once believed,
as warm turns to cold
in a home that love belonged.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
