Tempress Poem by graham russell

you took my heart you took my soul
held them in your grasp and crushed
them in a flash

my heart died then my soul did to
as four words you did speak
i never loved you
i never loved you


you lied just to play me
you lied just to hurt me
you lied just to tease me

i told you i loved you
i told you truthfully
gave myself to you
my heart and soul


while i cried
you laughed
while i wept
you left

leaving me a broken wreck
less the man i was
for giving love
to you, a tempress


im lying here not sure
if life is worth going on
when you are gone.
