I’ve nothing left to give My soul is so weary It is a wonder it’s still there The fight has gone out of me Robbed from me in the moment That I was not looking Deception is a cruel mistress Yet I know her so well Often times she is gentle Lulling me into a false sense Of the security I so long for Then bam! She hits me over the head I stumble back from the blow She grins as she admires her work Caught me not looking again You think I’d learn by now She always lays in wait Lurking in the shadows When opportunity presents itself She pounces into action Panting from the excitement Pure adrenaline courses through her veins Her eyes grow huge with glee Watching me reel from the blows They fall mercilessly Shattering my remaining will I am pelted in a relentless barrage Whose intensity is like none I’ve ever known before She looms over me I beg for reprieve Her eyes tell me no I am on my knees Praying to God For the strength To endure my lot He finally grants My soul release As my spirit Leaves my body Journeying upward To be with Him As I watch from above Deception is conquered In a shower of brilliance Fire and brimstone Hail from the heavens Dissolving her before me All writing comes |

very nice write, Lone Wolf. Deception does play her little games, doesn't she? or he, whichever the case may be...gentle smile |

So much emotion here...anger, betrayal, submission. Quite powerful! |

This re-energises sentiments by the sheer power of the written word... Way too impressive, my friend... Thanks for sharing... Regards, Sudhir "I was born intelligent - education ruined me" |

Very descriptive writing, I must say. You describe your feelings very well. |
