Desire can drive a man insane
Making mush out of his brain,
Longing for the surface beauty
Thought enthralled by a cutie;
So it was with the young Cain.
Emerald was his affections aim
Raven hair and eyes deep green,
Prettiest woman he had ever seen;
Not that Cain had seen that many
This being his first visit to the city
From the country on a mountainside.
Yet her beauty could not be denied,
With a glance he was in her powers
Spending his money on exotic flowers
She took every gift that he sent
Till every last penny was spent
Then casting him off well used
His soul and spirit now abused.
Going back to the country on a slow train
And Emerald did not remember his name.

And there are times when desire
can drive a woman
into longing for the affections
that are not always
within her powers
to have cast upon her.

I read this several times today...

Life bleeds understanding...don't you think?

She was a user and an abuser. Poor Cain deserved much better. Have him call Earthy Angel! She knows how to treat a mortal man! lol
