Sometimes, Sadly
There exist some souls with deranged minds -
psychopathic narcissists and sociopaths
who never can change.
Something got twisted inside them
and it invaded their brain.
Strange hideous thoughts seem to follow them
since their youngest days.
They stalk; they punish; they kill.
Their pleasure is another’s pain.
Love they cannot give, for love they cannot feel
although they may be talented
at mimicking affection.
Those with the misfortune of being their kin
or those having been sucked into
their initial charming graviational force
and fall too quickly in love with them
will one day learn a lesson
(and hopefully not tragically):
Sometimes, sadly,
love is not enough.
