Woman Scorned
I stepped upon a nail
encrusted with your lies.
I crossed the tracks of endlessness
with fury in my eyes.
I walked upon hot coals
which seared me with your "love"
Believed that all you'd given me
fit me just like a glove.
The emptyness I felt inside
was filled with such disgrace.
I hate the way you walk
with that smug look upon your face!
The bitter tasting fruit you sow
will soon be your demise.
The corrosion in your soul
will eat at you until you die.
In the h*** you made yourself
you will walk on blistered feet.
You have no choice in suffering.
Admit now your defeat.
