Embers here remain
Passion's flame
Charred and scarred
Betrayal of lust
Seduction's game
Love no chance
Forbidden fruits given
Spoiled and rotten
Driven into the dust
Iniquities den
Tattered bits of lace
The lover's couch
Scattered and torn
Clothing ripped
 Adulterer's touch
There lies the body
Naked is the tart
Broken and bent
Death of angel
Cause a broken heart
