Oh, Calamity

Forgive me Father, for I have sinned, of thigh-high socks and bobby pins. Now strewn about, we kiss discreet, with pounding hearts, our bodies meet! Our love forbidden; a cold fire - it burns, within my breast as my stomach turns, Blasphemy, Sin! Of this I am full. Guilty! Yet, still at your body I pull. Convince me now that my sins have worth. Can I trust you won’t shatter me, cast me aside? Can I open my heart and have you as my first? Can I believe you will not twist the knife in my side? Oh Calamity, damned as I am, right damned. I sat there crying as the door slammed, behind you; you're leaving... alone, here I lay. Left behind, thrown away, your toy for the day. With a sigh of resignation, I wipe tears from my eyes. There's no justifying her actions, her lies! Begone! Get thee behind me you whore! I stand up and place my hand to the door... But I never make it, my heart heavy has grown. I have achieved this destruction all on my own. "I'll never forget you.." I heard her prose... as my eyes, heavy lidded... begin to close. My last breath escapes me into the night. I feel no elation, no horror, no fright. A small voice in the dark; a phrase to be heard: "I'll never forget you, " I echo her words.
