Tempest

I search within myself
For an explanation
How could this happen?
I had plans

I let one distraction
Alter my dreams
You came in
Disguised like all the others

Dressed in red
My rose colored glasses saw green
I took one step
And before I knew it
I'd stepped into darkness

Sipped down spirits
Trying to disappear from my discomfort
Lost my balance
And I fell

The room grew still
Darkness hovered over me
I stayed in a clouded state
It was then when your horns appeared
I couldn't speak

My voice muted and I saw you
Laughing
Crying inside while I felt
my body break

It wasn't until
I submerged in water
The cloud left me
The daze raised
And I felt the pain
That I realized that I was broken
Not only on my body
But my spirit

I wept alone
Forever have I been scarred
Never to fully heal
I'll always be reminded
Of that night I let you in
