Let Go, Give In

I was your master once, I had control

I ruled your world with my words of gold

I knew just how to twist and to pull

Where others would falter, to me you'd fold

~

Then you pulled away, my weakness your ploy

You flirted and taunted, playing so coy

The tides did turn and I became your toy

~

We’d sway and we’d spin, I pulled then you’d lead

I'm first up on top and then underneath

Fallen for pride and devoured by greed

Our lust, it turned out, had razor sharp teeth

~

Yet somewhere deep down, love vied for a chance

Each chose the other, gave in to romance

Changing the soundtrack to alter our dance

Sonnet
