Thoughts of a Ham Sandwich

King of Coins

He is the King of Coins
He is a master of getting what he wants
He has a persuasive tongue
And a "kill for me" smile

This is why I must keep my distance
I have what he wants
And he will play me until he gets it

He'll plant forests of beautiful word
To make me think that I'm wanted, 
That he loves me
He'll smile until my head spins,
Until I'm willing to gut myself,
To give him what he wants

So I stand back
With the door locked and bolted between us
But his knocks make me question my decision

AN: The title "king of coins" is in reference to the card "king of coins" or "king of pentacles" in a tarot deck. When I ask my tarot cards about the male this poem is about I often pull the king of coins. I'm not entirely sure I love all of this poem but it's what I've got and I haven't updated in a while. Hope ya like it.
