Spurned

Spurned

I see best with eyes full shut
Sensing my lover silently leave
The hero of the bedroom speeds his escape
Fearful to arise at my side

I track him with the light from nowhere
Staining his suit and lining his spine
He can’t see that he’s a marked man
The victor who’s never conquered

Now comes his chance to
Lose it all
I gave him my heart;
It’s a fair trade
