Kissing rattle snakes with pretty eyes

By BroKen-GlaSSHeArT

you look at me and smile
-but i know why...
the wolf glint in your eye;
is on the hunt.

friendly banter hides
-a less charming intent
...but no man is what he seems;
and a woman is not to be trusted.

we pretend to believe;
in love and fair play,
but at the end of the day
-it's still a cut throat world

if you have the cash;
i have the time.
I've always been,
a fool for you.

over time we grew to love;
the sound of silence...
-screaming across the distance;
between your lips and mine.

I'm only half a man
-without a woman to complete
...humanism seems obsolete in,
this modern age of apathy.

    "...but no man is what he seems; and a woman is not to be trusted." So we leave our hearts in dreams/ where it hides in sorrow encrusted... well-thought and an intriguing title.
