Your Pretty Words

Pretty words from your lips do spill,
Over a sweet silver tongue they slip;
I bid you prattle away as you will,
From the cup you fill I eagerly sip.

A seduction so tender I cannot deny,
At the first sound of your voice I fell,
My heart and love lost in your lie;
I am an unwilling victim of your spell.

I awaken from my trance and curse the syllables you spoke:
Beware! One day upon those words you will choke!
