Darkness, Chaos and Lies

I was naïve, lost in the thrill, His baby, his sweetheart, his Hun, until The truth unveiled my heart undone, Deceit was the thread, my downfall began. My heart, a puppet on his string, He brought only darkness, chaos, and lies. He took my heart, squandered my wealth, Roaming the streets, seeking life’s breath. His love was a lie, just sweet deceit, Intoxication was his only creed. Curse, curse, curse! His words, explicit and coarse, The paralanguage, love’s tragic course. Loving him brought burdens to bear, Fed up with the fight, the disrespect, I declare. He used me, left me broken and my spirit poor, Never any sympathy for the tears I bore. His heart, a void of darkness and deceit, Filled with chaos, lies, and defeat.

It s so sad, the pain we feel when the one we always love betray ua is immeasurable, it seems like that our whole world has been broken and there s no purpose to live anymore, alcohol or any type of intoxication turns a man into satan, while drunk we don t remember what we are doing, we just do it and the output isn t always pleasing, it destrpyes our lives and even the life of one we love, good luck

So true of what you stated, sometimes when we are under another influence, that opens the door to Satin. However, all is not loss in any situation because we are here for the betterment. Thanks for the reply.

Hi Vera, yes there are a lot of traumatic experiences that grow us to beautiful flowers. It's the pain that gives us our platform. Thanks for responding.
