Your eyes were wide with worry
& darkened by disappointment
As I watched your heart,
Dangling delicately,
Beating with the rise & fall of my breath
& at that moment,
When the world seemed to have stopped spinning
& light fled in fear
It could have been mistaken for lust, you see
Or maybe, even love
The seductive nature of evil often blinds,
Even as it draws you near
You gave in so easily
You saw it all so clear
& as I wrapped my hand around that heart
I could swear, I heard you sigh
It echoed all around me
A whisper,
Sweet goodbye
