Shameful
She stayed instead
But should have fled
His voice led her astray.Her cheeks burned red
At what he’d said.
She blushed and looked away.She tasted dread
Her heart he’d shred
She saw she was his prey.He turned his head
Her heartbeat sped
His will she would obey.©2016 Suzanne G. McClendon

Thank you, Rosema. The funny thing is, I have never read that book nor do I have plans to read it. He came to mind, though, as I was writing it, which was kind of funny to me. 🙂 I hope that you have a blessed weekend, too.

Some folks just can’t seem to heed red flags, even when they’re everywhere they turn. It almost always turns out badly when they are ignored.
Thanks so much for your comment. I am glad that it elicited an emotional response. Have a blessed day. 🙂

Thank you. 🙂 It is creepy to think how mesmerized a person can be by someone else that all self-preservation is thrown out the window.
Have a blessed weekend!
