Struggling, sinking in sadness <br />Bruised, beaten down again <br />Manipulated, heart naive <br />Believing once, you were a friend <br /> <br />Trusting words you whispered <br />With love, held near and dear <br />Easing the soul of sorrow <br />Pain slowly, disappeared <br /> <br />Smiling in satisfaction's wake <br />Thought perhaps you were the one <br />A completion of my person <br />Soul's hunt for love, now done <br /> <br />Plotted, planned and persecuted <br />To perfection, the master plan <br />Payback, like a childhood prank <br />Masterfully crafted, by evil’s hand <br /> <br />Laughing in the face of fidelity <br />A player of skin delight <br />Compassion drained and bled <br />Sick in your glory, without fight <br /> <br />Winner of wanton deceit <br />A Houdini of the heart <br />Fooled from the beginning <br />Deceived, lost, torn apart<br /><br />Wendy Bureau<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/deceived-7/
