Poem
Sanity vanished on a wisp of air that fateful night, as I ignored what I knew was wrong and kept telling myself it was right All because I wanted to let the lust overtake me, temptation had rolled out the red carpet and placed it there at my feet I wanted to sin, just this once I didn’t care about the consequences, they be damned, tonight I was going to ride the train straight to my own created hell just because I wanted to take a stand Against whom? That part was never clear, through the fog billowing in my mind a teary face did appear I knew that face, I would know it anywhere, but I chose to mask the vision because I didn’t want to care Her feelings were of no importance to me, neither were the tears falling from her eyes, I wanted just this once to feel how it felt to walk on the dark side And I got a taste, I sunk my teeth into that bottomless pit, sin had a hold of me, and I couldn’t get enough of it The form that it came in wrapped up with beautiful words spoken to only me, kisses and touches that made me weak and brought me to my knees Never contemplating tomorrow, or the seconds after the release, I was only out to take what I wanted, or what was just a fantasy After all was said and done, and our souls, they took flight, I knew in my heart there was no turning back there was no way to make the wrong right So, I reveled in the moment, and I took it for all its worth, knowing that I would carry this sin with me until they put me in the dirt “Was it worth it?” that girl in the mirror she asks me every day, and I conjure up his memory and, in my heart, I have no answer for her, I don’t know what to say.
