Do not promise what you will fail to deliver
Beautiful
Hopes are crystallized shards of glass
Fragile
But when they break, a maiden will cry a river
Promise
Each vow: special; varies in size and shape
Important
But all are significant to the one whose ears vibrate upon sweet words
Hypnotic
Leaving us stunned and dazed in the jetlag of your warm whisper
Surprise
Evil, in man’s form, took hold of our supple curves
Fool
Stringed us through the plot of the play like marionettes
Deceit
Used us and abused us for personal promotions
Contrary
Somehow still, the ideas seemed appealing
Repeat
How do we fall for this every time?
Deny
I must’ve been drugged! My head is reeling!
Surrender
What can I do?
Illusion
Soon another will fabricate a story to seduce me again
Hope
Maybe the next will be the last
Cry
Or maybe I deserve no better.
