Love was your pretext for lust, and once again, I was fooled. And while betraying my trust, love's smoldering embers cooled. Flattery blinded my eyes, obscuring your true intent. And imaginative lies quickly quelled my discontent. Unconcerned about my fate, you hijacked my hopes and dreams. And offering love as bait; took my feelings to extremes. Love's a true-life fairytale written for both old and young. Yet, it's a deceitful tale; when spun by a silver tongue.

Love these lines: "Unconcerned about my fate you hijacked my hopes and dreams. And offering love as bait took my feelings to extremes. Love remains a fairytale spun for the naive and young."

TOYALLY IDENTIFIED! Love how you fashioned the exact words and I adore Rhyme (anyone will tell you). This has real work in it which I greatly appreciate. Love the way you described our Silver tongue temptress & I'm pleased you have the golden tongue for a touché in print. -Edlynn Nau
