Deceived
by Seah Greenhorn
(poem with copyright)
Your words
tricky thus sticky
pulled at the core of my worth
once believing their utterances
conceived in love
heliumed
me
buoyed
way above my insecurities.
Now,
once again braised upon knees
my desire pleads with you:
Lift me up; raise me as high
as once your sky!
But this snickery of yours I can't abide.
Snide and deceitful hides of your whereabouts;
then angry strides and shouts
shoving my nerves around.
Cuddling me
then busted
me.
Around like a Ferris wheel.
Downs extremely down.
How did you entrap
swallow me whole
where darkness dwells?
Where I am cold.
Why did I falter
and fall into
when my intelligence usually
lets me see through?
Your smoothness became a tranquil sea.
Bluer that any horizon given me.
Your lips of venom were honey sweet
to drip upon my thirsty tongue.
To skip my patter of its beat.
Your touch a flame to heaven send
now bends me forth
to curl in pain
from poison rushing from my heart
to cripple me
through shrinking veins
pinching the oxygen
from my weak and famished
brain.
How did you know
for me to seek?
What deep inside
did you true peek?
Your handsomeness disguised your hate.
Your treachery
will seal my fate?
Am I too late?
Shall I be as Eve,
since so thoroughly deceived
laid to rest and then to dust
for lacking sense of whom to trust?
The web you spun to capture me...
why?
To humor you?
To murder me?
tricky thus sticky
pulled at the core of my worth
once believing their utterances
conceived in love
heliumed
me

way above my insecurities.
