False Dilemma

A Poem Self-Published in “Candescent”

It was vain

But sin was gleaming

Gleaming brightly, in the light

I was slain

It left me grieving

Grieving long into the night

I gave my all and got back simply

Broken pieces of a heart

I've fallen

Down

Down

Down

To the depths of despair and misguidance

Hold me now, 'til fear depart

Beauty was

My captivation

And lusting minds

Brought forth demise

However, 'twas

Worth the struggle

Hammered hearts

But pleasured eyes

My transgression

Was satisfaction

My twisted thoughts

Caused many cries

But in my comfort

I lay to snuggle

With none but pride

And comely lies
