Sonnet 16 Poem by John Florio

O two-timer! Or the murderer of joys!
Be merciful and change your game;
Replace some puppets instead of boys,
For if you cannot remain the same.
How long will you torture the hearts?
Of those who credibly feel for you;
Give no pain, hope, and tricks of arts,
For that's not endurable to you, too.


The sweet words and the fake smiles,
Come from brain, but not heart;
Don't let it be your habits and styles,
Of making someone fall apart.
At least, consider about their feelings,
How they'd suffer the rage of cravings.
