You Lured me in......(a fishy tale)

You lured me in with tempting bait

And promise of fulfilment.

I took a bite, it tasted sweet

but oh there was a sting.

Too late, I'm hooked, tried to resist

but the pulling just got harder.

You pulled and pushed and gave and took

I then became ensnared.

You drew me close and looked in awe

my shining scales and beautiful curves.

I was calm in your gentle touch,

lay there in warmth without a struggle.

I loved that feel but knew it wrong,

I struggled but the barb was tight.

But then you found a flaw in me

a missing scale I was not right.

I did not suit your needs this time

I did not fit your plans.

You cast me back in the deep dark pool

I lay still in shock as the cold hit.

But there's still a flicker in my tail

It's faint and barely there.

I'll lie here at the bottom now,

'till my strength returns to surface.
