The Courtesan

A life of servitude But never subservient To one, the confidante Heartset on the patriarch Her efforts soon rewarded His carnal needs fulfilled Nocturnal passions sated Diurnal accusations evaded She lies within his arms And sees her destiny He lies without remorse He lies and feeds his gluttony Devotion now divided She sees his demons strike But blind infatuation Decides her loyalty As witness to his wicked assaults She feels no sympathy for her ally This is the moment she’s been lusting for An opening through which to bore The moment’s come His heart will bleed For only she who now remains The time has come To gain control No other soul can claim this place While in the thralls of passion Their bodies merged as one Emboldened and euphoric She shares her true desire Her words evoke a smile A laugh, so deep and pure Her dreams so brutally shattered Slicing away her sanity
