soul thief

my first poem on this site :)

he grabs my hands

spins me in circles

the dizzying sensation makes me

...lightheaded

it's an open window

thoughts exposed

suddenly a passionate evening

becomes an opportunity

for possession

she takes my mind

he doesn't know

he smiles into my eyes

we were intoxicated

and he still is

he grabs my waist

which is now hers

and dips her low to the ground

I panic, she laughs

she lures him into the bedroom

playfully leading him

by his work tie

my stomach would drop

if it still belonged to me

'please see it's not me'

his eyes are on fire

she knows this house

every crevice

she knows his weaknesses

every like and dislike

she is in my mind

...usually

now, she's out

he slips his tongue

down her throat

she grabs the gun

beside the bed

he doesn't know

he doesn't know

her excitement

chills my spine

her pleasure

makes me sick

his body goes stiff beneath her

as he realizes this is wrong

he can feel the devil

that resides beneath my flesh

his eyes go wide

his heart races

but it's too late

she has the gun

she has me

she has him

'I stole her life'

she said to him

'and I'll take yours

tonight'

cold metal

against flesh

and that's when I

lost my whole world
