The Speech of Vengeance

The Speech of Vengeance

Oh thy shall not know the misery of my heart
my sanity was disturbed
many years ago
when a young gentleman
made a promise
of love with a rose
in hand

He kissed my hand
an exchange of eternal love
knelt down
into my honesty
I believed in his sincerity
in his eyes
in his words

How shall now that be a blasphemy
all such unfair
such deception full of cruelty
now poison which
 suicide now concludes
in this fair maiden
woman of truth
lady of care

I shall not now believe
in anyone anymore
but he worst
shall not be trusted
shall be in ruins
in this mortal world
of suspicious beings
where life will deliver
his punishment
