Acidic Sweetness
Chasing fairytales all her life
Searching desperately for love
Leaving no stone unturned
Sweet naivety
Believing an illusion
Swallowing his deception
Her ears crave his enchanting lies
So she remains his flautist
Eager to play his melody for a lifetime
Rigid iceberg dismantled her dream
Overcome with an epiphany of his treachery
Sweetness turning sour every disappointing waking hour
Pretending not to hear her cries
Indifference disguised as ignorance
Now too sagacious to fall for his trickery again
Knowing that she is his puppet
But, unable to cut the strings that bind her to him
Once upon a time she was golden
Sweetest girl, a treasure
But, now her emerald eyes have lost their luminous shine
Her broken heart filled with rage planning his agonizing demise
Wicked fantasies dancing in her head
Invoking the power of all
Living for the moment when she can watch him crumble and fall
Impeding the deadly venom he spews in her direction
Instead forcing him to drink from the chalice of bitter reflection
Mirror breeding the truth of his dishonor
Realizing with horrific fright
That forever acidic sweetness will be kissing him goodnight.
