She is me

She is a shadow of Delilah
Dancing on her own immoral desire
Sabotaged by her jealous urge
That puts her under siege to sin

Her heart a metallic object
Bound by the spirit of the attacked deer
Struggling to save herself
Battling with her hatred
Which devours all her strength and defense

She is an epitome of patience
Curved and patched inside her
Waiting for the resurrection of affection
And the coronation of a lasting union

Her eyes kill
Her lips seal
Her words heal

Wow! Faving this for your choice of multi- meaning words, its twin, insighful theme; its mirror presented to the reader. I had a problem with jealousy that i inherited in the 1950’s when all media proclaimed that All men cheat. Hmm In my marriage of 41 yrs, i’ve wrestled w/my imagination/fear, never the cheating. BRAVO & welcome to the Soup!
