Naked On the Floor
He left her standing there
In the hallway of despair,
No care nor emotion shared
Just a blank cold stare.
She shrank with icy fingers
Barely holding his guitar,
No time to stop her lover
Turned into an overnight stranger.
He wanted her body lustily
Promising future love and gaiety,
Though his words were just stories
To make her wish to comply.
She sank naked on the floor
Mind gone to the land of nevermore,
Where raven thoughts flew
Escaping through her finger tips.
He slammed that black door as she cried
Dismay at trust lost, inside
An empty armed woman
Clutching this instrument of death.
