Once Scorned

Strangely Art Prompt - Unofficial Challenge

The dark lake of forbidden love

Calls to me like a siren

Begs for a sacrificial dove

Hiding in the horizon

As I approach the water’s edge

I stumble and I fall

Left dangling on its jagged ledge

So, I begin to crawl

Injured and feeling vulnerable

I cry out to the water

Please help me I'm in trouble

As it calls me an imposter

The doves and I then make a plan

To void the power that you're wielding

To cast the spell of frogman

Until your shores begin receding

And when you are a puddle

and your darkness is my own

The doves and I will chuckle

As I fill you in with stone

Telling stories my heart needs to tell <3 life is a journey, not a competition
