This Thief of Hearts

Who is this thief?
this thief of hearts
anchored in this well of loneliness
scattering the leaves of love
like a treacherous storm

Capture her beauty
smell her scent and
fall into her emptiness
the abyss of the unknown
the exciting and dangerous

like a roller coaster out of control 
the imminent danger
lurking in the distance
Her intoxicating scent 
overpowering your senses 

The magnetic pull so strong 
relentless struggles
futile attempts 
to break free 

Who is she? this Delilah 
with her prowess 
destroys reason
destroys loyalty
Shame on you! 

no conscience
no heart   
for all your breath taking beauty
mention not of a duplicate abyss 
on a mission of deception so deep 

This is tormenting my souls
Yes two
One which is kind and honest 
The other is like a tornado
destroying everything in its path.
