Summary: Finally, my terzanelle. Traumatic but very satisfying!




I always knew that you would win my heart,
although I never gave the game away;
my plans were put in place right from the start.

I couldn't underestimate the way
in which I drew you right into my snare.
I never really gave the game away.

You talked about my face, my voice, my hair;
you whispered sweetest nothings in my neck.
I drew you right into my snare.

I kept my deepest feelings close in check;
you thought I was aloof and unconcerned.
You whispered sweetest nothings in my neck.

Your every step, each corner which you turned,
I engineered them all to win my goal.
You thought I was aloof and unconcerned.

I needed all your love to make me whole;
I always knew that I would win your heart;
I engineered it all to win my goal;
my plans were put in place right from the start.
