manipulation is the key to survival<\/p>\n
she knows how to play the game<\/p>\n
forever be the child<\/p>\n
Wendy to his Peter Pan<\/p>\n
simpering lips<\/p>\n
eyes evoking sorrow<\/p>\n
hiding purpose<\/p>\n
demanding respect<\/p>\n
earning none<\/p>\n
threats executed<\/p>\n
promises kept<\/p>\n
broken hearts cast aside<\/p>\n
she hunts for new game by the sea<\/p>\n
bikini clad beauty hiding a corrupt heart<\/p>\n
that feels no pain<\/p>\n
incapable of empathy<\/p>\n
no room in her malevolent nature<\/p>\n
for pity though revenge satisfies<\/p>\n
his feet don’t touch the ground<\/p>\n
but he has not flown to serenity<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hanging in the barn<\/p>\n
he waits for discovery in vain<\/p>\n
she has no inclination to linger<\/p>\n
no desire for reconciliation<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
