Teeth as white as snow,
All nicely arranged in a row,
One bite on my skin no pain,
For those teeth matched your smile.

Eyes as bewitching as I don't know,
Glued to them advise was a no,
Your tempting eyes in my dream peep,
Startled with a start my sleep slip.

Talk of the pillowy chest,
This made me forget the rest,
I longed to be in your nest,
You being my husband was the next.

Pity looks are deceiving,
Your soul so dark as the night,
Your heart as cold as the grave,
A flirt flash boy the king of all.

I fell in love with your looks,
Pity I didn't know it was lust,
Contempt and low grade I have received,
My bruised heart will never get a heal.
