Isolated in cold silence staring at the flicker of a flame
I sit alone in this dingy dimly darkly lit room
as I witness the shadows consuming the compliance of my disdain
as the air lingers with the faint taste of her sweet stain
I'm laced scorching in the pitiful smoke now I'm enveloped in the blaze consumed
my body is rocking back and forth in place while I'm straining to cope
hoping they won't detect the clues
from the rage of this passion that erupted by the lit of a fuse
a ticking time bomb placed on a pedestal I watch her muse
ailing deception of the harlot's pleasurably painful stroke
I was once a man chiseled of my own making now the cracks chip away I'm mental engrossed,
breaking I once built an empire where the snakes attempt to dethrone me for their taking
But I fell for this hellfire vixen due to her beauty, touch, and lovemaking
I recall our first kiss when she scratched up my back and proceeded to clamp down on my lip until she saw it drip
her eyes opened widely with excitement as she touched it with her hand and placed it for a taste against her lips
as we danced, that moment was it
she hooked me in but now I'm at my end of the rope and it's frayed
I remember meeting her in a dream and lusted before I even knew her name
This attraction was fatal before I even began in the deadly game she played
we engaged and got married while our fallen partnership's tension began its strain
our seed dripped and was the branch that clung us together causing this chain
I witness her infidelity looking at me in a sight that is plain
viewing her shameless smirk, I'm her groom but she's combing out as a tangled jerk
for the flings, she calls them friends, and I'm expected to play cool, calm, and collective and just pretend
This is where the twig snaps from all the pressure of the bend
I find him alone and see this as a time for this wretched affair to end
the blackness of the clouds covers the night as it storms I listen for the thunder to commend I'm scorned
a flash rumbles I hear the crack as I wander into darknesses descend worn
I reap grimly as an executioner delivering a soul to send
roses with thorns bleeding my seductress crossed the line
Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine.
