I Plunged Into Her Fire
How was I to tame this raging blaze?
This thunderous roar, This crippling lunacy, This phase.
Just Like a thief,
The stolen cloak secretly I wore.
Thirsty, delirious, crushing,
Wanting so much more!
Unquenched, maddening desire,
Longing for her sweet caress,
I watched her, willingly undress
I plunged into her Fire!
I drank, for months my thirst to sate,
This lie, this evil, it gripped,
it clenched, I felt it suffocate,
Abate! abate!
I stumbled from my faithfulness,
I fell foul to temptation,
I slipped into her waiting arms
Without any hesitation.
I dove into the sea of lies
My selfish thirst to quench,
With violent thrust and blatant disregard
I plunged
Head first into blinding lust,
Shattering into a thousand shards,
Your Trust.
A fragmented memory quilt,
My heart filled with so much guilt.
Lament, Repent, Regret,
Your mistress forget….
The voices echoed in my head,
Relieved, my wife was still in bed.
