Persuasion Poem by Marie WardAlonge

Your words, can they sound any sweeter?
With your promises mixed with deception,
It leaves the mind in an upheaval.
I am not satisfied as a believer.
I know you are a teaser.

Weigh my conscience and let it be said.
I have no hidden agendas, no deals ahead.
Nothing is contrived.
You have no pride
But you do have lies.

Your silliness enthralled my senses.
I can never go back.
You have created too many offenses.
It was your love that once ignited my heat.
On top of everything else, you were a cheat.

Where you are today-I could not care.
I thought it was time for me to clear the air.
I am happy now and you probably still having your affairs.
That's something for your women to bear.

Forgive I can but forget I won't.
No need for you to use persuasion.
So don't.
We had a few happy occasions.
However, you are no longer part of my equation.
