you were all wiles and charms,
sensual depths dancing behind midnight eyes
and lips that devoured my secrets
i gave no resistance
you always knew how to play me like a melody,
a pied piper beckoning
with velvet words and a lyre of lies
i fell for it every time
(but even hearts like mine know
there’s a time for letting go)
