manipulation beckoned her
she understood this love
it was her false hope that revealed his words as promises
intentionally never meant to be fulfilled
yet she obsessively believed the lies
his charisma, his sexual deviance, his secrets
she delved
her world was complex, understated, she craved true passion
he bound her hand to his
forced her into his darkness
she need not had been bound
her spirit, connected as one to his own, gladly followed
and eventually led
into the darkened sea of sin, immorality, evil deeds
they plunged
breathing in only the overflowing fountain of deepened sorrow
her forgiveness, guarded by Kings
he weaseled until she sliced his soul from his chest
devouring all he was meant to be

What a tragic story, my friend. I sense the hurt and pain so deeply. Wonderfully expressed
I like the ending the best. She devoured him instead of the other way around! So much better than the traditional and expected ending of her stewing in heartbreak.
Just had an after thought…have you heard of Maria Mena? Your writing reminds me a bit of her music. She is one of my favorite artists. She writes (and sings) beautifully, and a lot of her stuff is on the same page as yours.
