Thy serpent tongue twists all thy truths to lies<\/p>\n
And devil\u2019s gleam lies content in thyne eye,<\/p>\n
But that won\u2019t shift my heart: I fail to try,<\/p>\n
For when thou art near, what I feel, oh my!<\/p>\n
I know thou cheat: life is a game to thee<\/p>\n
Where all who surrounds ye is pushed and \u00a0 \u00a0 pulled.
\nThat is what thou do to the heart of me!<\/p>\n
I see thee, talk to thee- happiness filled.
\nI don\u2019t care if they say thou art a fox,<\/p>\n
One that shall only break my unseen heart:<\/p>\n
Loving thee has made me strong as an ox,<\/p>\n
Losing thee shall cause pain with I\u2019d ne\u2019er part.<\/p>\n
Though my love for thou doth thrive in sin,<\/p>\n
Do know that nothing can change what\u2019s \u00a0 \u00a0 within.<\/p>\n
