Thou art a very wicked one,
I tell you this, your life's undone,
For evil doth run through your veins,
You must be mad or quite insane.

Though your poison is a tasty drop,
I sometimes wish I could drink the lot,
Your hair aflame, your eyes on fire,
But you're so low, you take me higher.

Only I know of your wicked ways,
And you don't care who seems to pay,
But life is meaningless without you,
So I shall claim now what I'm due.

When I turn around and see you there,
I don't seem to worry, or have a care,
You play with me like a toy,
But I'm so happy you bring me joy.

And when you're done, you'll toss me aside,
Until that day I shall not hide,
For life without you, I cannot lie,
Is not worth living, I may as well die.

Taking the bad with the good in a relationship and still loving. Right on!

Good Morning White Wolf. All I can say is this is exquisite. Just that opening line and two words alone of "thou art". Yes, you are a poet. May this day find you well.

I like what someone down here said. What's a lover to do? I loved the contrast here : knowing the evil but still wanting it at any cost!

Sometimes wicked people are magnetic! But what's a lover to do? Loved it.

I love every single word in this poem, and the way it comes together as a tribute to the wild woman who is a lone wolf, you cannot live without, even though you suspect her sanity.
