Manipulation

Love is death,
It will not prevail,
Give up now,
Love is a veil.

It hides hurt,
Anger and contempt,
Don't be sucked in,
For you may be kept.

Kept in the clutches,
Of a mutated beast,
That hides behind emotions,
And sweet names, at least.

Don't play fool,
And risk your demise,
Keep yourself away,
From Love's greedy eyes.
