Night Of Perplexity

Your infidelity tiptoes towards me,

Casting eerie shadows on my conscience,

It wraps its hands around my neck

And strangulates me.

I swallow a nervous whimper

And take a step back.

But your impudence reaches out

And sinks its stealthy sharp talons

Into my fragile bones

Seemingly penetrating my very being.

Your memories start to whirl around my feet,

Trying to suck me into the pernicious past.

As the Autumn wind howls,

I scream but the words whisk off

From my lips in the overwhelming blackness.

I am slowly drowned

Into the stygian sea of slumbering evil.
