Paradise Is Lost

Paradise is lost
This is your fault
You shall wear this sin
A scarlet letter burns
On your chest, in your soul, in your DNA
Endure the loneliness of the evening
Sleep nights alone, worrying for the safety of your Beloved
Haunted by disloyalty and betrayal
Shrivel in the shadows
Give for others and forsake yourself
Accept dependence and ignorance
Each moment provides a crossroads to change
Be that change
Live all you’ve dreamt of
All you imagine
