MYstake

Temptation calling my name.
Curiosity pleading,
Begging for a taste.
Conscience screaming fading away
Leaving me cold,
Confused,
Alone.
Oh, so cold.

Well there was him...
The fuel feeding the fire,
The start of it all.
The biggest sack of lies
I had ever seen.
He who turned me against my parents,
Against my friends,
Against myself.
Good company? No such luck.

Mutilation of thoughts
Made me want him.
Crave him.
Need him.
Made me believe I loved him.

Made
Me
Give in.

One night.
One measly night.
One word, "please."
Maybe four words, "Don't you love me?"
...Hesitation...
Two words, "of course."
More like, I think.

Whole lives blew off course..
How can one dicision have such disasterous affects?

Choices. Choices. Choices.

    Unfortunately it often does.

    Life is a constant quest for answers. At times we learn those answers the hard way and then regret that we have gain that knowledge in the manner which we did. Anytime someone wants you to prove your love you must be wary. Too bad you learned that lesson the hard way. I'm sorry for your misfortune. Of course I hope you know that true love will not affect you this way. Even a love that is not true but has true intentions is more gentle than what you have described.
