Temptress

by. Facundo Ezekiel

Sure, you're a woman

No need to show off
I was already in love

You're killing me now
gnarly
turning me inside out
and I wonder if you know it
and if I want to ask

Do I prefer you ignoring me
or you being a sadist?

As a Dickens' ragged boy
I find myself begging you
as you fly by
like a noble in disguise
you appear humble
but under the shy smile
there's a mountain's height
there's an ocean's width
of unearned riches
you waste

So go break another fool's heart
you already drained mine
you don't deserve
the electric bursts that erode my life
the white throes you entice

Your rotting powers can only last so long

I better tell myself that
or I'd have no reason
to go on
