seduction

Your mistress wears the beryl pendant you gave her,

applies only the faintest blush to her cheeks,

and styles rich ringlets of dark hair that fall down her back

only to please you. She

glows with a divine aesthetic

while you make a misstep in your uncertain quest

and inadvertently rope yourself into an elaborate trap,

her knowing eyes and smirk exacerbating your despair.
