Have you been one of The Seduced

  

Title: 

Have you been one of The Seduced 


(A lone voice whispers)


Does the lonely soul with broken wings


Still cry as they wallow and grieve


Does the heartbroken walk 

Head down 

With an invisible frown


Looking at sharp pavements 

Littered in broken glass emotions 


When they are cursed 

To wear their hearts on their sleeves 


For when lust for a new love life has you in its tight grip


That unquenchable temptation to be violated 


Or to enter new flesh 


To penetrate deeper mentally into unknown wet territories


To really sate your soul for fifteen minutes or so


As you clash climatically 


Clinging onto the thought that this new form of love will last forever


Whilst bound tightly together with pheromone emitting 

Soft aromas of immeasurable pleasure 


Which smells of shiny black leather


Will thoughts of eventually being one of those lonely souls that grieve  


When they eventually leave


Just be another conspiracy theory 

That you were played to get laid


That many will never believe?  


As you walk on lonely pavements like so many of those deceived
