Deceit drips from women's lips like acid.
Lives are scared by the melting of heart's flesh.
Such pain is caused by a face held placid.
Wounds scar over then they open them fresh.

Sorry Ladies, no two sides to this coin.
For unknowing carnal knowledge, you lie.
You think a man's heart is yours to purloin.
You wont have the joy of making me cry.

I will remember women's grace come dawn.
I cast aspersions of truth on them now.
For this life at least I am no one's pawn.
My ship of fate I command from the prow.

Soon enough will I come to calm my rage.
Distrust now has riven me to the core.
No more will I make of my mind a cage.
Hatred abates for she whom I adore.

OUCH! You still can't remove this grin I have permanently a-fixed though, Dream!
I like this though, I must say.

You're on a roll, Dream.
This one cuts deep. Excellent, as always.

And so, being young and dipt in folly
I fell in love with melancholy,
But dreams - of those who dream as I,
Aspiringly, are damned, and die:

Ah Dream, I like this, but fear to comment....

Now when you write, I fear they're aimed my direction....I'm sorry. I do hope I am terribly wrong.

Nice!

However, I regret opening my mouth so soon. When I read this piece, the distrust seemed inhumanly strong, and I'm not fully sure where the perspective is coming from. But good writing, strong expression.

It hit me hard, I am just not used to reading such dark thoughts. Riven says it all.

Bitterness touches us all, thank you.

I take that as high tribute Artur, thank you.
I felt the need to release some bitterness and feel I succeeded well.

You certainly did, and I'm proud of you for doing it so well.
