Oh, how the fools fell
for the sweet tender
Izabell.
Where once
they would have guarded
themselves,
like steel locks
designed to block
rare intruders
who dare go
anywhere
near there.
Now they open doors
gleefully hoping
she will see
and enter gingerly
for love's gentle reprieve.
Those young men
come bumbling in
ready to submit
to whatever role
she wishes them
to fit in.
I watch each young gun
become a heartbroken ***.
I have my fun
but run before
she sees me
because she could break me
just as easily.
