Who Are You?

Who Are You..

really..
the purveyor of love
hopes and dreams
you wove your way so
eloquently into the valleys
of my heart

your words sweet as honey
poured over me in their
rich deliciousness
so milky sweet
i was immediately entrenched
in every syllable

oh how you
managed me so well
luring me into you with
so much ease

telling me all I needed
to hear, to believe, how rich
you made it all sound
so lovely, so heart renderingly
beautiful...

you wove lyrics into my
very soul
filled me with more happiness
than i had known
for so long...
made me believe
that anything was possible again
if it involved love

and in an instant
in ways that even I could not
begin to fathom
you turned on me
and left me blinded
and wide eyed as a child
caught in the sun
after being held in so
much darkness

and I wonder
if
you were not
the devil himself
sent to disarm me
