Oblivion Calls
Succumbing to the allure of lust,
she sought seduction through betrayal.
And acquiesced to her base desires;
in love's realistic portrayal.
Sowed deep within her flirtatious heart,
infidelity's seed got planted.
And nurtured by hope's expectations:
happiness: was taken for granted.
Shunned by all, in an uncaring world,
her reality: overrode theirs.
And with too many sins to forgive,
just gave up on God and her prayers.
A victim of her low self-esteem,
she's cried enough tears to fill oceans.
Thinking that only death can provide
sanctuary from her emotions.
Oblivion calls compellingly;
from the fragmented fringes of pain.
And beset by thoughts of suicide,
she questions if she's going insane.
