Lying Hands And Cheating Hearts Poem by shannon wright

you are playing games with the devil
as your cheating hands and lying hearts
seek to fulfill something inside you that’s missing.
a conscience perhaps?
instead of looking for someone else to take that spot
you should look at the hole where your soul should be
and decide how you can weave some moral fiber instead of lies
build some character instead of wrecking homes.
and as you begin this journey with your partner of deceit
please know that you will not have one moment of peace
because if they did it the their last love,
the one they professed as their true love,
they will do it to you my love.
