Come warm yourself dear one, she said
Why suffer needlessly?
Starve no longer, share my bread;
My coat, my fire, my bed with me.
Temptation in each word infused;
With luxuries so grand;
What could he lose should he refuse?
And so he took her hand.
Addicted but ungratified;
Tomorrow hell awake;
Unfilled, unwarmed, unsatisfied;
Unable to escape.
Tonight he sleeps in falsehoods;
Cloaked in quilts of dread;
His belly full of promises;
In the devils bed.

Something sad and sinister, yet how it is, a place I/'/ve been before, not that I wanted to, but that I also had no reason not to. Some good can still come from that though. That/'/s actually how I stumbled upon the best relationship I have ever had!
But the latter part of it... "in the devil/'/s bed" makes one wonder just what is so devilish about her. Perhaps a interpersonal Hansel and Gretel, where she seeks to nurture a dependence, and his soul will be hers- or maybe, that/'/s a spookily true way to look at courtship?
Hah, the possibilities! |
