Sultry Hips

You stole the bright that lights my soul And left me drowning in the dark. I'm left in limbo less than whole, Without the stone to start a spark. You found this fool at fever's height Then bled the best right out of me. Demented dancer of the night Without an ounce of honesty. Your beauty bold was bent and blurred And found profoundly bound in pride; A gifted goddess who endured Her own depraved deceit inside. My loving heart reborn in hate, A legacy that lingers still. My core corroded, crushed by fate Upon my weak and weary will. Those programmed lies, upon lush lips, Made me believe what I conceived; Seductive lust for sultry hips - Corruption of a soul deceived. I knew the day you went away You'd find another fool to use; A sadist slinking after prey: Seductive strokes turns to abuse. The fault, I found, is mine alone, For you, my dear, were but the tool Who threw this dumb old dog a bone To gladly dance and play your fool.
