Forgiveness
You ask forgiveness
but admit no wrong,
with a voice of litheness
you sing your song
of love~
it is a deceit,
a counterfeit created
from sweet words
and heaps
of ice-cold jade,
carved into illusions
of dreams
and gossamer rings
that snap to entrap
naive hearts
without mercy
for the butterfly's
torn wings
and beauty's descent
into death.
