Anacreontic Destruction

Justification, I have not a bit. Infatuation, led me down the path! She consumed my thoughts. Powerless was I, a husk of a man, Crushed by desire, unsure of myself. Perhaps I'm a fool, falling in lust with such a strange girl. Intoxicating, mesmerizing eyes! Long flowing black hair. I lived in pleasure, took too many risks! I stood at the brink, where death awaited. Need held me in place, the curse of wanting. A glint in her eyes, as knife plunged deeply. All that had been mine, now belonged to him! I fell off the cliff, free from her at last! Written November 13th for Edward Ebs Contest. I hope I got it right Ed.
