Possessed

Vows I made and vows I broke.
All rational thought had left me.
I knew I was lost as soon as he spoke
But no sense could I then see.

My actions I could not control.
I have no sensible explanation.
In his arms I now felt whole.
My heart , it sang with elation.

This was not the way I was raised,
To lie and betray someone so kind.
At my own actions I was amazed.
Perhaps I'd just lost my mind.

Yes, perhaps I was possessed somehow
And the devil made me break my wedding vow.

Very nice, Francine. Breaking vows is right up there with the sins, but often nobody takes it serously enough for what it is. Congrats on your win. LUv, Andrea
