She has fallen in love without trying to
Falling for a mess of lies
Whose main purpose in life
Was in self reflection
Looking at only his desires

How is it with all this intelligence
That the heart betrays her so
To chase caution into the wind
Of wild lusty abandonment

What is this spell of debauchery
Sending her mind lusting for much more
Licking her lips in the moisture
Of hidden needs to be fulfilled in day dreams

She lies in wait hoping time would heal
The conflict of heart and soul
But the fragrance of his voice
Storms away the inhibitions
In words that told him
It is alright

Well the passions of all the storms
Was left out in his delight last night
Leaving him begging for her to stop
Giving him the time to rest
As she reached over to wrap her arms
Around the morning ghost

Shattered into a billion pieces
She again is so fragile that a whisper
Will set tears to flowing
In a heart now so lonely
It cracks with the mind saying
“I told you so”

hmmm...I think I've lived this. A great write! It certainly captured me from the very first and kept me enraptured until the very end.

In truth, what defines us is our poetry.

Very well thought out and written verse,
but these words

She lies in wait hoping time would heal
The conflict of heart and soul

really captured the feeling of the entire piece for me. Very well done, and enjoyed.

somebody tell me, please help me....
