words of deception on the rise

the 12 given words:
lonely walk trees pebbles despair calls 
wild love air knees repenting world 

a lonely walk among trees
upon pebbles treading in despair
calls of the wild pleading incessantly
for love is in the air

on bended knees repenting
a world of difference it makes
to a damsel by nature is caring
vulnerable to pleadings of fakes

unwittingly caught by surprise
tugging relentlessly at her conscience
words of deception on the rise
to be more careful as a consequence
