Unfaithful
•
why lust
do you entwine my heart
to wrap your burning hands
‘round honor’s throat
to smother frail fidelity
and render lifeless
in fatal forfeit
my loving soul
to offer only
this empty tryst
and shame

So true. Artfully written.
Oh wow…I love how you portray lust this way. Excellent read — so much said very succinctly!
elegant words for such a sad mistake
well written,
that desire/lust could be so strong and uncontrollable regardless of consequences..
