Seduction & Manipulation

Ardelia once said,

“Don’t seduce me.

The abused ones don’t get seduced easily!

Don’t try to manipulate me.

Broken people never mend their hearts.

They don’t trust and give in so hastily!”

With a heavy pounding heart,

My roses fell upon the ground.

Seasons changed, petals dried,

But the bliss of love never occurred!

Ardelia was hopelessly in love, as was my waiting period!

She never believed in love, and I never got the chance to show her the world that she deserved!
