I hooked you with a single stare
it was over before it had begun.
like fallen prey you lay there
holding death in your hand.
You had a void I touched you there
with ease I kissed your hand.
There was devil in your despair
A devil at my command
What I brought,you were unaware
It was the best I had to give.
But all you took from our affair
are the fears you must relive.
But dont forget in your prayers
that all I did was make you bare
and to place the blame for your scare
it's in the mirror into which you must stare
Because I cannot invoke what was never there.
I am totally surprised. This poem rhymes. But, that's my particular literary preference, and not your usual style.
I like the poem, it matches the title, and the last line brings us back down to earth and makes us look at ourselves.
Thanks, Goblin.

It rhymes far too often near the end but other than that it's ok
Cheers Bob.
goblin i actually like this piece of work alot, it really stops and makes you think, take a deep look at yourself.
Cheers I think poetry is a more powerful medium for sparking introspection.
