Betrayed By Desire
It seemed as if
I had everything I could ever want
And still I desired more
Lusting after forbidden fruit,
wanting to taste the taboo juice
Oh how I betrayed my heart ...
the love of my life ...
my wife
Why, oh why
did I throw away everything I thought I ever needed,
all because I desired more than I was meant to have
This tragedy
is played out time and time again
in the weeping bedchambers
of lost innocence
I was betrayed by desire,
curious beauty seen from afar
And as I moved nearer and nearer
to embrace this enticement,
my innocent heart escaped ...
and I know now where it went
