The Dread (Free verse) by scitz
Navigating blind with awkward fingers,
Previous touches once successful withheld.
Trying to perfect an impulse,
To make something familiar exclusive for her.
Like twilight I am failing.
For my eyes see a perfect sculpture,
That my touch would not be worthy of.
Guilt is 'liberty's' sword.
With me impaled upon its russet blade,
Willingly slain by its creators hands.
I fall deeper in to despair,
Carving myself a valley of shadows,
That led me deeper in to temptation.
Lies become you,
Then you feel the air leave your lungs,
When she asks you if you had a good time.
