Double Life

Amber eyes seeping in rage, 

Flickering flames dancing in darkness, 

Years pass through her gaze, 
Peering inside one so heartless, 

Creeping across the creaky floor, 

Hearing your whispers pass the door, 

Finding what isn’t mine anymore, 
So like a raven I let you soar, 

To the moon and back,
you had once told, 

But past the poker faced facade, 
You win and I fold, 

What once was will never be, 
Our lives tied to monogamy, 

Your soft serenade slaughters me, 
Taking my last breath finally free.
