a double edged love

Your glass love has been shattered

I am sorry

That this hateful heart

Flighty soul

Has damaged yet again

Entangling helpless victims

Within its silver-spun

Web

You did not even struggle much

No fight

As I laughed into your eyes

My stone-friend

Pillar of salt

Part of my game

Though unwittingly I

Lured you

It hurt to realize that I

Am that type

Black widow heart killer

Soul stealer

Serpent to your Eve

Enticing you from

Eden

I AM SORRY

My double-edged love

That which is not

Has wounded you

Once more

This cycle of puppeteering

My downfall

And yours

heartbreak
