Lace and Satin

Lace and Satin, my! What passion!

But it’s all for not, or have you forgot?

Have you still neglected to see?

Goodness me, that’s troubling indeed.

Our love at first, might have seemed strong

Patient, pleasant, pretty, kind.

Lovely, so lovely, like nothing was wrong

But then the holes, so small so thin

They looked like flowers, but smelled like sin.

Then I saw your slippery ways,

Thats when our love, met treacherous days.

If only I, who swooned at you, 

had seen the dark, you drew me to.

Then maybe I, wanting, wishing, wistful, me

Maybe then I would be

For the better, 

And not the bitter girl you see.
