i tore away from all the petty lies,
a cutthroat fiend with no throats left to cut,
but now i find i'm lost in my disguise,
a wrenching stabs and eats around my gut.
for all your wealth you gave your worth away,
betraying love and taking to the night,
succumbed to fears that i cannot allay,
i would i were the man to make it right.
the gods have made it plain, a thief can't be
the winsome lover of a lovely girl,
for now i've shown you all there is to see
and you have left to fall into the world
though we were young you were a girl of fire,
and i again a thief and more, a liar.

well, you're supposed to disregard the "be" at the beginning of line 13, and "fire" is supposed to be one syllable in line 14. but fien. D<
this one sounds like a storybook except it should be "i've shown" and not "i've showed." yes, i am a grammar nazi.
