Sirens

the sirens soft songs

lure in each sailor,

their terrible nature

disguised by their

sweet melodies.

the sailors float

in without a worry

or second thought,

but the sirens soon

pounce, stealing away

every part of their soul.

the sailors have gone

too far, and once

again the sirens

destroyed a heart

with their lovely chorus.

you were the siren,

i was the sailor,

trapped by your facade;

i learned to never

trust again.
