After The Glanconer* Your sweet smile. Your honeyed words. The way you held me      I believed I was it.           The only girl. You sweet talk, but I won’t fall again. Positions are now reversed. Now I strip you raw, and leave you wanting,      wanting more,           more of the things I will never give. I will never give you what it is that you need. I gave everything once. * Ganconer or the Love Talker (Irish Mythology) seduces young women into falling in love. After lovemaking, he disappears leaving the girl heartbroken and wasting away.
