Aftermath

For the fraction of a second
That I let down my guard
You took over

Like a computer with a virus
No software to remove it
Every file infected and compromised

You were watching and waiting
For that one moment
When I was not protected

With my world spinning out of control
You depart as quickly as you came
Never looking back

Leaving the aftermath
Bleeding heart, tattered soul
Destruction from your path
