He touched her richly
like king Midas.
Made her feel like
a queen dripping in gold.
He made her believe
that she was his goddess.
Until her heart was
in his control.
He tossed her aside
after taking her all.
An unkind lover,
who damaged her soul.
He smiled at her sweetly,
as he took and he stole.
a golden king,
with a black heart of coal.
She cried, and she wept,
for this snake on a throne,
Now like Medusa,
her heart is of stone.
