Windigo

Windigo: in folklore it may appear as a spirit who has possessed a human being & made them become monstrous, associated with cannibalism & insatiable greed.......

I swear the look you gave me made me feel helpless.
Adrenalin pumping all over,I could not do anything but fall
Yes!! I was madly in love with you at the very moment I set my eyes on you
Those eyes,juicy lips & soft touch I wanted it all to myself

Slowly I worked my courage,the first words were hard to say
Especially that other time I tried to express my feelings to you
You played it well,I was hooked to you before you even said Yes
Without me knowing I let my wall down like any other victim

Months passed and you lured me to your cave of horrors for the kill
The more I investigated and dig up the more skeletons I found
To make it worse you kept fattening me up with your sweet juicy lies
I ate it all up,falling for the beautiful monster

Eventually the time came,the eyes turned red & the heart stone cold
With one blow you yanked my heart out smiling devilishly
As you sink those sharp teeth in my succulent heart I helplessly watched
Once done & licking your fingers and lips your gave me the look smiled and left

Heartbroken and alone I silently cried and cursing my self at the once
Sometimes I would look in the mirror and ask myself how did this happen
You need time to heal they said,every thing will be ok with time.
Deep down I could feel it I had no emotional feelings in me I was different now.

an unfortunate romance or tryst... looked so beautiful and sexy and it seemed like you were a perfect pair.....until she turned into a devil, haunting you.."you lured me to your cave of horrors".... This woman's ghostly ire broke your heart and sent you into an emotional spin...you cursed yourself for loving her...now you are left with an emptiness...that you have to live with....
Excellent write!
Best, B

Describing a cold, ruthless and faithless lover as a monster who eats your heart? Brilliant. Not a poet, so I will not "critique", but the premise is quite the picture, no, many images. Nicely done.
