My Undoing
Unearthing the feelings that I have long since buried
Loneliness
Creeping back into my heart like the serpent in Eden
Temptation
Begging me to bite back into you and erupt with
Knowledge
That fills my brain with sins both committed and to come
Pain
In knowing that you will, once again, be my undoing
Remorse
As I forgive you for bringing me back to this
Chaos
Of this never ending cycle of what we call love.
I unearth my serpent of evil
So that the devil may, once again, lay his head in my lap.
