You settled in a corner of my infatuated heart,
And claimed it as your true home.
You fit so perfectly, that I could not harbor any doubt of you,
Until you corrupted me with your whispered lies.

I failed to see your orphic nature,
While you slyly set my heart on fire.
At the sight of fumes did I come to my senses;
Then I saw you for who you were.

You left me with no choice but to banish you,
From the lands of my aching heart that you claimed were yours.
