False Dilemma

A Poem Self-Published in “Candescent”

By Lana WilderPublished 9 years ago • 1 min read

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
