Throwback Thursday

                 

                         This was from September of 2010.

HARD 

I see through you.

The sweet voice and gentle way.

A trap you learned.

Exercise in control.

But I see through you.

I used to mourn for you.

But now I’m reviled.

You’re a predator in silk voice

And lace camisole.

Fierce and fluff

Blended with arsenic—

Emitting a slow death.

Unawares the poison

You spread grows within you.

I watch its liquid oozing

Like cancer.

I see through you. 

 

God in heaven, only you know what’s next. Mercy and Justice. All we can ask. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
