The Evil Plan

A poem about lost love.

Thru hell, you stab at me,

You said I knew not what you need,

More than for me to love thee,

Much more than what I did cede,

Not to stop me,

I did give in,

Ask for your hand, ask to wed me,

Your want was your sin,

Yet, you had won, I can't deny this to thee,

A joy that I knew not,

Thru hell, you took me,

Not to know your soul made of rot,

Not to see your plan, did I ever know thee,

One side does not a joy make,

My eyes fail to see the evil in you,

How it was you were so deep as a fake,

Not to know what you'd put out was not one bit true,

Big evil in your soul, dead you left mine,

That day you said let's talk,

That was the day I last knew of life that was fine,

The day you said what was true, then took a walk,

I did not love you, your life I did take,

It was just a lie, a way to use you to get my own way,

For all this time, I have been dead of soul, a fake,

To do what I knew I must, to live this way each day,

For your mind and soul were full of such hate,

To love thee was a risk,

But I won't feel your ugly fate,

Yet, your grin I do miss,
