You drew me into the thicket,
and didn’t warn me of the thorns.
Little insults dug in flesh,
my blood earning your scorn.
You told me love blooms,
it only takes time
water, sunshine, care,
and I fell for your lies.
Until I discovered you weren’t a rose,
or any pretty flower to pick.
You were a pirate looking for treasure,
Thinking I would do the trick.
But I was your shipwreck,
Waves pulling you down,
I fell for your disguise,
So now you must drown.
