Trapped

You seek to exist unseen
yet that chaotic day I found you --
a rogue, a rake, an outcast.
Exuding brilliance that seduced,
trusting in your whisperings
I slip into your delusion;
wanting to play a part for you.
Enveloping me in bliss
before stealing the light from my eyes.
The pain flashing red, then black
and the rest is silence...

The mirror shows your rage —
Trapped, entangled with you.
The painted bruises won’t let me forget
the nightmare of paradise where we met.
