I should have seen 
those horns
that lurk behind
your friendly mask
and hide your
sinister interior

A Predator
who eats hearts
with no concern
or responsibility
for the damage 
that you cause

In truest love
I let you in
and I let you in
because I loved you
and you tricked me 
with words that 
play with power
and molest
false intent
to lasso in
and pry open 
the depths of me 
devouring 
the most tender parts 
then, like a thief
you steal the pearl
and violate
everything pure-

You are a master of deceit
a criminal of lies
a swindler of loves
sacred offerings-
you are the Wolf
