Ego.
Plague
All men
No cure
Nor antidote
The ultimate
Cancer
Of the soul
Mortality rate
Hundred percent.
Resolve
Like center of gravity
Narrower
The higher
The center
Of mass.
She who sits
Atop
A tall stool
Falls
The impact
Proportional
To height.
Fools
Can fool
All.
Doubt
Amplify
Effect
With a simple statement
Exaggerated truth
As if a cliché
She
Know better
Yet
Succumb
To the trap.
The ice queen was tricked.
Her greatest weakness
Is perfection.
Or so
The desire
For it.
Thus
A shallow statement
Needle prick
Small fracture
Broke the ice
Easily.
Drop of prince Rupert
An elegant crystal
Strong
But
With a weak point.
Brittle.
A certain fire queen
Unveiled
Emerald green eyes
The color
Of elegance
Beauty
Arrogance
Courage
But most of all
Of greed.
Because behind the mask
Every man
Darker
Than his shadow.
Fire
However mesmerizing
Will always
Consume
All
It touches.
A prince
Unmasked
The façade
Shattered
Closure
With a collapse.
Only then
He realized
If only
If.
Love
Demand sacrifice
He has made none
None worthy
Nor impactful
It is not
Enough.
The swift destruction
Of a slow and tedious
Construction
Relationship
Between him
And her
A testimony
It was false
An ersatz
Of genuine.
It was simply glass
Mistaken
For a diamond.
In another light
In a game
A certain devil
Found her match
Everytime
He was difficult
To catch
A sparrow
Unwilling
Succumb
To her clutches.
Entertainment
A chess match
Between
Cynic
Devil.
She had pinned him
More than thrice
In check
Yet
In an astounding move
A counter
The greatest rival
Is one
That learns
Adapt
Evolve.
Tables turn
The deck
Reshuffled
He who was no match
Matched her
And for the first time
She was checked.
Zugzwang
Force her
Move
To his
Advantage.
Certainly
She had not yet
Subdued
The underdog
He refused
To be her
Pet.
That single move
A kiss
Burned through her
Arousing
Buried desires
Now dug up
By the cynic.
Serve to provoke
Insidious desire
Within her.
Each passing day
By the hour
Like a weed
Creeping
Enveloping
Mind and heart
Now
Host
A deadly parasite
Far more sinister
Dark side.
Envy.
She possessed it all
Beauty
Intelligence
Wealth
Skill
Polished reputation
High respect
What more?
There is always more.
Perfection?
A preposterous saying
Without love
You have nothing.
Flaws.
For a cynic
Posession of wealth
Enough
Money will buy
Necessities to live
And soon enough
You will be chasing love off
With a stick.
Life is free.
Living is expensive.
The devil
Desires
What she does not posess
Especially
What others posess.
She will have it.
She will
Have him.
Greed
Demand
More than what one has.
Envy
Desire
What others have.
Insidious.
To each their own.
Flawed.
