Dispair transformed as tears and pity subside
A chapter in the book Spit, Gum and Shoe Laces
The Dawn of Reckoning
by Blue-Stubby
A tender soul is gradually beaten down by adulterated self-indulgent acts.

Early is the sun that creeps over the trees
Taunting me as I return from my lusting My home seems strangely foreign to me Is she waiting, wondering where I've been The motor from the engine purrs quietly A cloud of bluish smoke fills the cab I exhale nervously from a lengthy draw Is she waiting, wondering where I've been My body saturated with another's sweet aroma My stomach nauseated with subsequent guilt My mind conjures lies for futile camouflage Is she waiting, wondering where I've been Innocent conversations inflated hidden desire Passion carelessly fueled by efforts to impress My immoral love has penetrated and created Is she waiting, wondering where I've been Through the dewy fog I pace toward the house The untainted silence is shattered with vengeance She kneels, whispering in my blood covered ear I have been waiting and I know where you've been |
